‘Reds won’t do Blues any favours’
Liverpool will not roll-over against Chelsea, warned Blues midfield ace Frank Lampard on Monday. Chelsea, who have a slender one point lead over Manchester United with two games remaining, play Liverpool this weekend. Victory for the Reds could see United sneaking in to secure a record 19th title. "There's no chance that 11 Liverpool players can go out and consider Man United winning the championship in that game," said Lampard. "They go out to win the game. You wouldn't be professional otherwise but they are professional. The manager's professional, the players are.” Added Lampard: "There's no way they'll think about anything other than winning the game regardless of whether it gets them in the Champions League next year or not as well.” If United win the league they will move past Liverpool on the all-time list. Both teams have won the league 18 times in their respective histories.
