Frank Lampard on Kai Havertz, Liverpool's trophy lift and N'Golo Kante fitness

Chelsea still have work to do to secure a top-four finish as they bid to spoil Liverpool's Premier League title party at Anfield on Wednesday. Ahead of the game, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has faced the press. The boss started his conference with a statement on Liverpool: "It changes the face of it. They have had an incredible campaign, there can be a small dip. They were virtually unbeatable, but I only consider the best Liverpool. I am happy to give them a guard of honour. As for the trophy lift, we will see because it might depend on other factors after the game." Callum Hudson-Odoi is still not in his best form, according to his boss. "He just needs to keep training well, he has had good moments in the last few games. I haven't seen any frustration, of course, I expect my players to want to play." Lampard has been asked about potential summer signing Kai Havertz and he replied: "I am not going to talk about Kai Havertz, I am more interested in a big game for tomorrow." Speaking about another target, he said: "If I get the opportunity to speak to players then it is about the vision with passion. I remember when I was a player you want to join somewhere where you are going somewhere." Asked if they will bolster attacking options, Lampard said: "We will cross that in the summer. They are attacking talents and you try to improve what you have. There might be players moving on naturally." The boss also spoke about the top-four race. "It was the number one goal at the start of the season. The prestige and guide of where you are as a side. This was the most testing season. We then have to look at bridging the gap. We're not there yet." Lampard also provided updates on Willian and Pedro futures. Asked if they will end their deals, he replied: "I have a presumption they will do. But I don't want to say anything wrong. We have seen the value of them and I want them to stay until the end." The Blues boss also declared that N'Golo Kante is still not fit.
