Lampard Expects Chelsea Kids To Rise To Top-Four Challenge

By Daily Sports on September 28, 2019

Frank Lampard insists Chelsea are on course to finish in the Premier League’s top four despite their spluttering start to his reign.

Lampard’s side are languishing in 11th, 10 points off early leaders Liverpool, after winning just twice in their first six league matches.

However, they are just three points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal and level on points with traditional top-six rivals Manchester United and Tottenham.

“No, of course not,” Lampard told reporters on Friday, when asked if he was concerned about Chelsea’s prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.

“Look at the other teams around us. Arsenal, Man United. We understand we're in and among it.

“Having seen the young players, I’m as confident as I was before. We want to be competitive and get into the top four.”

If Chelsea are to climb the table, Lampard will need his gamble on the club’s promising youngsters to pay off.

The Blues’ all-time top scorer spent 13 years at Chelsea as a player. He coached Derby last season but left to return to Stamford Bridge. He believes the current crop of Blues youngsters are the best in his time at the club.

Tammy Abraham, who has scored seven times this term, and Mason Mount have been the most high-profile of the academy graduates.

But Fikayo Tomori has also established himself, while the highly rated Callum Hudson-Odoi returned from injury to score in the League Cup win over Grimsby on Wednesday. (SuperSport)
