Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge with dad and Roy Hodgson to watch Chelsea try and turn season around against Liverpool

Frank Lampard was at Stamford Bridge on Saturday to support his former side as they looked to turn their season around against Liverpool.

Chelsea's all-time top goalscorer joined his father Frank Lampard Senior in the crowd just days after being given an OBE from Prince William for his services to football.

Lampard, who retired from international football last year, was also sat with England boss Roy Hodgson at the match.

The New York City FC star is back in England after a disappointing first season with the brand new MLS side which saw them finish eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Speaking after he received his prestigious honour on Wednesday, Lampard backed his old side to recover from their terrible start to the season under the guidance of his former boss Jose Mourinho.

'It's a hot topic because you don't expect Chelsea to lose games like they've been losing recently,' he said.

'These periods do happen, I've been involved in them before and the thing that matters is coming out of them the other side.

'With Jose Mourinho in charge, the squad they've got, the talent they've got on the pitch and the club that Chelsea is now - I don't see anyway that they won't turn it around.'

The Blues legend was greeted by Chelsea Chairman Bruce Buck at his seat, who was presumably congratulating the midfielder for his royal recognition.

Lampard wasn't the only big-name former Chelsea player at the match, with Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko also at the Bridge for the game.
