<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho has praised Frank Lampard\u2019s impact, after Chelsea recorded their sixth straight victory in the Premier League, with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Blues have recovered from the 4-0 defeat they suffered against Manchester United at Old Trafford on the opening weekend and are currently third in the table, eight points behind current leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Despite their sensational form, Mourinho is worried about how Chelsea will perform in big games this season.<\/p>\n

He told Sky Sports: \u201cIn the first weekend I was worried and I\u2019m still worried with the big matches. I think fantastic work. The kids coming into the team are fitting amazingly well with the top class players like Willian and Kante.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think really, really great work by Frank. But, they lost twice against United, they lost against Liverpool at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey conceded four goals against Ajax and I\u2019m very, very curious to see Chelsea in the next match at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m curious to see if they found that great empathy between the good football they play and the pragmatism that the top teams must have to play against top teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they find that I think they have a great team for the future. I don\u2019t believe in them to finish top two, but I believe very seriously for them to finish top four.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
