After moving five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, Liverpool now aim to hold onto that lead as they face their toughest challenge yet with a trip to Stamford Bridge against Frank Lampard’s Chelsea. The Blues had a difficult mid-week with a UEFA Champions League opener defeat and also lost Mason Mount to an injury, even though he should recover by the weekend.
However, after coming up big in the thrashing of Wolves last week, Lampard is itching to prove his managerial ability at Jurgen Klopp’s advantage.
