Chelsea manager Lampard gives thoughts on Klopp rivalry ahead of Liverpool clash

Frank Lampard says there's nothing more between him and Jurgen Klopp than a healthy competition as Chelsea prepare to welcome Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Chelsea's squad has been boosted by £200 million ($252m) being spent in the transfer window on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell, which prompted a response from Klopp that "clubs owned by countries and oligarchs” are immune to a coronavirus-hit transfer market.

Liverpool have spent less than a quarter of what Chelsea have in the transfer market, even with the imminent £29m ($37m) addition of Thiago from Bayern Munich.
