However, the midfielder injured a hamstring and was ruled OUT of the game on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking after the 3-0 win against the Clarets, Lampard reiterated that Kante’s injury is not expected to keep him out for long.
He did not clarify how much time the midfielfder would miss, though.
Speaking about the performance, Lampard told BBC: “It’s a very convincing win.
“I thought there were some great passages of play throughout the game but the overall performance was superb.
“We played with a really positive attitude – particularly Ross [Barkley] and Callum [Hudson-Odoi].
“We have set a standard today and we know we haven’t reached that recently.”
