Lampard hopes Chelsea players keeping eye on rivals

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says there is nothing wrong with his team keeping an eye on how others are performing.

The Blues are locked in a tight race to finish in the top four this season.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Leicester City all have designs on third and fourth spots.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are also in the hunt.

And Lampard has no issue with players keeping up with other team's scores.

He told reporters: "Football has never been more on TV than it is now. I expect them to buy into that and want to see what results are happening around us.

"On a sporting level that means you care. And then there has to be a slight switch-up and a focus on yourselves.

"We can't control all the other games; we can certainly control what we can do. It can fire you up seeing what else is happening.

"The position we're in means a lot is in our own hands, and that's the main thing. When we train and when we prepare and when we play, the main thing is we focus on how we absolutely put out the best performance."
