Rafa Benitez has questioned whether Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has suggested that Frank Lampard will stay with the club.

Chelsea face Southampton at home on Wednesday night, and having failed to score in their last two outings at Stamford Bridge, Benitez admits his side need to improve to fend off the kind of criticism they have faced from the Stamford Bridge faithful of late.
"We are doing well away but at home other teams play deep and wait and there's less space," he said.
"We are still creating chances but the main thing is to be more clinical. If we take our chances it will be totally different because the teams we play will be more open and we will have the space we're looking for."
"But if that's not the case, as in the last two games, it is more difficult. The last two games were more difficult because they had 11 players behind the ball and we have to find a way to overcome that."
