The England international has again been a virtual ever-present this season for the league leaders having made a whopping 49 appearances.Lampard and co can clinch the Premier League title with success over Wigan at Stamford Bridge and he is keen to play his part.Should the 31-year-old feature on Sunday it would be the seventh time he has made 50 appearances for Chelsea in a season - a record only equalled by legend Ron Harris.With squad rotation the norm among the Premier League managers Lampard is blessed he remains a first-team regular, but insists he would never have it any other way."I'd never thought I'd be able to achieve that when I signed here, especially with the squad we've got these days," he told ChelseaTV."I grew up like my dad in the same school as Ron and Jonn (Hollins) of wanting to play every game. I love the rhythm of playing week-in, week-out. "I don't like being dropped. I don't like being rested. Fortunately I've had good managers who I've had good relationships and I've played regularly."Sometimes they give me the option of not playing in a cup game. I'd never take it. Even if I felt tired I'd say I felt alright."Anyone can have bad games. I've had good games when I'm tired and I've had bad games when I feel really good. It's just the way it is."The thing that sets people apart who play consistently and regularly is that desire to keep playing. Some haven't got it and some do."
