Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is unsure whether Liverpool have the 'staying power' to push for the Premiership title. Chelsea have battled to the top two in the Premiership over the last four years, whilst Liverpool seem to always ease off the pace in the latter stages of the season.

“What they’ll have to do is keep that up through the whole season,” he said in The Sun.

“That’s what we’ve done when we won leagues and what Manchester United have done in the last two seasons.

“Whether Liverpool can do it remains to be seen. But they’re definitely one of the strong contenders.

“They spent lots of money in the last couple of years and bought quality players and they keep getting results even when they’re losing or drawing late in games, like they did on Wednesday.”
