Lampard wants big resultsChelsea midfielder Frank Lampard knows the club must perform in the big matches next season if they are going to regain their Premiership crown.
He said: “The first thing we have to be thankful for is a home game to start (against Birmingham City).
“I know Birmingham are a good team who played really well to get promoted and the enthusiasm of being back in the Premiership makes the first match tricky.
“We found that out at Wigan a couple of seasons ago, when we had to wait until injury time to win the match.
“But the two fixtures that really stand out in the first few weeks are the ones at Liverpool and United.
“It’s quite simple. If you’re serious about winning the championship then those are the games you have to get results in and so we know what’s ahead.”
