Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini expects a warm reception from Chelsea fans for Frank Lampard.
Pellegrini expects the Stamford Bridge faithful to offer a warm welcome to their former hero.
"I don't only expect, I am sure that Frank Lampard will receive the best reception from their fans that they can do," he said.
"He is a top player. He is maybe the most important in their history. He gave so many things to that club.
"If he couldn't continue playing there, he can play here. That is not his fault.
"I am sure the fans will repeat the reception they gave here to Frank in the first game."
