The Blues have been drawn out with Derby County in fourth round of Carabao Cup. Lampard’s ‘minnows’ will be up against title contenders Chelsea. Coming back home to play against your beloved crowd is what Lampard would not have wanted. Eventually the day has come for Lampard to show the fans what he has always done, win at Stamford but this time as a manager of an away team.
The journey of Derby has already crossed a tough route through Old Trafford and would be looking to get the better of Chelsea this time.
Chelsea were mightier than the host to stretch their league to fourth round.
Last time Chelsea may have been able to defeat a big club of Premier league but a club who is playing their worst of games. This time along, Derby are against a team in top notch with a manager not willing to lose.
But will tables turn? Lampard had made it a habit to win at Bridge and would not be willing to break that streak. Mightier than ever will be Derby, ready to bolt out the blue against heavier opponent.
Apart from the game of Blues, let’s have a look on other games and assess a probable quarter-final that might be coming up.
