Lampard in Blues’ trophy hunt for the long haul

FRANK Lampard is ready to drive Chelsea to their first FA Cup triumph under coach Jose Mourinho after declaring he wants to stay the club for years ahead.

The Blues face a tricky fourth-round trip to Everton today but Lampard, the fulcrum of a midfield he describes as the “most effective in the world”, is preparing to steer his side into the next round in his annual quest to win everything possible.

Today’s clash on Merseyside promises to be the start of another testing period for Mourinho and his troops with the opening leg of their Champions League clash against Barcelona in the last 16 of the competition just a few weeks away.
