The Blues got their campaign off to a winning start with a 3-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday. Jorginho, Reece James and Kurt Zouma were all on target for the London club in a match in which both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz made their debuts.
Frank Lampard has been fully backed by Chelsea's directors with the London club having gone big in the transfer window with the aim of making a push for Premier League glory. Thiago Silva, Hakim Ziyech and Ben Chilwell were also signed by the club in recent months.
"We definitely want to close that gap to Liverpool - we have to have intentions to be up there even though it is a big ask to win [the title]," said Lampard.
"We've had a lot of quarantines, a lot of players who aren't match fit. That's how this season has started. There's a lot of strain on these players and hopefully we'll get better and better."
Liverpool started their title defence with a 4-3 win over newly promoted Leeds United at Anfield. Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick for the Reds while Virgil van Dijk also contributed with a goal.
