The Clarets currently occupy 18th spot on the log standings and head into this weekend's round of fixtures having conjured a mere point from five outings, following a 1-0 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday evening.
Chelsea followed a 4-0 thumping of Crystal Palace with successive draws, 3-3 at home to Southampton and 0-0 away to Manchester United as the Blues kept a rare clean sheet on their travels.
For Lampard, the defensive performance at Old Trafford came as a huge morale boost and despite failing to find the back of the net, he admits his attack is the least of his worries.
"We have conceded more goals than I would have liked in certain games this season, it is important to try to address those problems," Lampard said.
"Obviously we are addressing them at the back. I thought we defended the box very well [at Old Trafford].
"Defending for me at this level when you have individual players with good quality is about concentration. Concentration is what defines defending in top players generally.
"I am least worried about the front end of the pitch with the players that we have there."

The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 4-2 win for the Blues with Christian Pulisic bagging a hat-trick for the visitors.
