Chelsea still have plenty to play for this season despite being out of contention for European places and with no domestic or European trophy to play for in the final month of the campaign.
It is a sentiment that Frank Lampard has agreed with throughout his tenure as interim boss, too. Even after his side were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid last month, Lampard reiterated his message to the players.
"I don't have a mentality that there's nothing to play for," he explained. "You won't compete absolutely every season, it comes down to personal pride and responsibility.
