Chelsea v Luton: What has been said?

Frank Lampard can ill-afford anything but a win over Luton but he insists he isn’t paying attention to the speculation surrounding his job.

Asked about the noise on his future, a clearly irked Lampard said: “I don’t listen to it.

“It’s only everywhere if you want to scroll through social media or something, but I don’t do that.

“I’m not stupid, I know the pressures that come with managing a top football club, but I just do my job, it doesn’t matter to me.

“The pressure is fine, you’re obviously happier when you’re winning games.

“I was obviously happier in October and November than now. For me, I just have to get on with the job.”
