Lampard and Klopp's former clubs go to war again this weekendLiverpool and Chelsea are set to lock horns once again this weekend, reigniting a rivalry that previously saw Frank Lampard accuse Jurgen Klopp of 'giving it the biggun.' Currently sitting first and fourth in the Premier League respectively, Arne Slot's Reds and Enzo Maresca's Blues have both begun this season in outstanding form. Back in July 2020, Chelsea visited Anfield, with Klopp's Reds having already clinched the league title. This match provided them with the opportunity to finally hoist the coveted Premier League trophy, albeit without any fans present due to the pandemic. Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunning subsequent free-kick to make it 2-0 to the Reds escalated tensions as Lampard was overheard furiously telling Jurgen Klopp to "f**k off" and accusing him of acting superior.
