“I think for the last three seasons, themselves (Liverpool) and City have been out on their own pretty much, and that's a lot of work,” he said.

“It's a gap that we want to try and breach, we want to move up towards - they are two of the best teams in the world. Again, credit to Liverpool for what they've done,” Lampard added.
