'Massive importance': Frank Lampard
"It's of massive importance. It's going to be a big test of players, a test of myself, because it's my job first to pick players up," club's official website quoted Lampard as saying.
"What I saw of two games, against Everton and Wolves, it was things we were doing really well before, against Leeds particularly, and everyone says we are in great form and wants to talk us up, and we just dropped a level for two games and got punished," he added.
