Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has stressed that the FA Cup final still holds massive importance to himself and the club.
The Blues are currently embroiled in a four-way fight for the two remaining spots in the Premier League's top four, as well as preparing themselves for the Champions League final on May 19.
However, Lampard has refuted claims that the club might overlook the importance of today's final against Liverpool.
"Obviously it's a busy schedule and we are fighting on three different fronts with the Premier League as well, so you might not think it's as important as before but it still holds massive importance to me personally, and the club too," the 33-year-old told the club's official website.
"It's an FA Cup final, and against a team with the quality and size of Liverpool. Without a doubt it still sticks out as much as it always has."
Should Chelsea overcome Liverpool at Wembley it will be their fourth FA Cup trophy in the space of six years.
