And while that, too, would keep the Warm-Up entertained — we're horrible cynics, deep down — it might not quite be so much fun for Roman Abramovich. But hey! Who needs trophies, when the whole nation is gladdened by your works. Cheers, Chelsea. This was great. Liverpool: making things just a little awkward for themselves An hour's rest for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Some of their players are essentially on trial under Lampard so they have to try to impress him. Lawro's prediction: 3-0Nathan's prediction: 2-1WEDNESDAY Burnley v Wolves (18:00 BST)Wolves returned to winning ways against Everton at the weekend, which is one of the impressive things about them - they don't let the odd bad result affect them, or alter their game plan when they lose.

Now that has been lifted I think it is a good time at the club. We have got a really good core of players as it is, plus people like Ruben Loftus-Cheek coming back from injury. The young players are doing very well, Frank has sorted out the balance in midfield and if we could add a couple of big players to that - maybe a striker and one or two to shore up the defence - then I think we are going to be the team next season.

Nearly a perfect day. I don't want to blame or whatever the groups I had before but this is a special group. Without that we have no chance to fulfil the Liverpool dreams.
