Chelsea manager Frank Lampard names Arsenal defeat as Chelsea's worst performance in 2020

Lampard says that Chelsea improved in the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa after the Arsenal loss.

Chelsea will need to be quick against Manchester City, while also keeping discipline defensively, the boss suggests.

Lampard states that he's confident in his side as they can beat anybody at home.

"Arsenal was probably, in my opinion, the worst performance of the season, because of our first half, not the second," Frank Lampard told reporters.

"Against Villa, we had more energy and we had opportunities where we should have won the game, but we have to keep those energy levels up.

"It was slow against Arsenal, it needs to be quick against Manchester City. It also needs to be disciplined against them defensively. So I want to see a lot of discipline in how we defend and a lot of speed in our game when we attack.

"I’m confident in us as a team because I know when we play as well as we can, particularly at Stamford Bridge, we have an opportunity to beat anybody."

After a run of 1 win in 5 games, Chelsea is set to host Manchester City at home in a big game to start off the new year.

Chelsea currently finds themselves in 6th, with 26 points in 16 games.
