Lampard says Chelsea aspire to be like Liverpool

Frank Lampard says Chelsea aspire to be like Liverpool after Sunday's loss to Jurgen Klopp's side.

N'Golo Kante managed to get Chelsea back in the game in the second-half, but Liverpool were able to hold onto their 2-1 lead.

And Lampard says the Blues must find consistency if they want to challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

"It's definitely a concern and we want to win at home," Lampard said in his news conference.

"Against Liverpool you know can lose, they are a strong team and that can happen and I expect the home win to come soon.

"The difference between us and Liverpool, as we have shown clearly today that we can compete with them, is that we aren't consistently as good as them and Manchester City week in, week out - and a lot of teams can say the same.

"To work towards those levels is hard. It's a daily, daily thing and that's where we need to go now.

"The home win will come, hopefully it comes very soon and it will bring confidence to everybody, but we need to aspire to a level like Liverpool - when they probably don't play their best but they win the game."
