The English Premier League continues as the Blues have traveled to the Midlands for this afternoon’s fixture in the Premier League, on day four of ‘Project Restart’ and have been boosted by results from elsewhere.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all failed to win since the competition resumed, which means Frank Lampard’s side remain in pole position to seal a Champions League spot for next season.
In fact, victory over a relegation-threatened Villa side will see the west London outfit move to within three points of third-placed Leicester City.
We are present in a much less crowded press box than usual and we’ve got live update on everything that happens in the 4.15pm kick-off right here.
Frank Lampard is expecting a tough test against Aston Villa this afternoon. Lampard also discussed Timo Werner, summer transfers, injuries and much more.
https://www.anaedoonline.com/2020/05/13/transfer-will-jorginho-abandon-chelsea-for-juventus/Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has admitted the signing of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner had increased pressure on him.
The Blues have sealed moves for the two forwards, after being unable to buy players in the last two transfer windows.
When Lampard arrived, he was content with giving the likes of Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Reece James opportunities, as they fought for a top-four finish.
However, since the transfer ban was lifted, Lampard has gone on to splash £48 million on Werner and £38m on Ziyech.
“The pressure probably does change because of the amount of money we have spent and I can get that. But there’s pressure in this job whatever.
“We’re a well-supported and well-followed club, and scrutiny is big, as we know — that’s why we love the Premier League and that’s why we’re trying to do our best.
“So I don’t mind the idea, I get it. We’re trying to improve and I’m under no illusions. I will have more pressure on myself,” Lampard told a Zoom press conference.
