Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard says he won't celebrate if he scores against former club Chelsea.

Lampard has made 19 appearances for City in all competitions, scoring seven goals, including a late equaliser against Chelsea, when he refused to celebrate.

He told The Times: "In a million years I wouldn't celebrate if I scored against Chelsea. I used to celebrate when I scored against West Ham, but that was a different situation. When I left West Ham there was a hostility from me towards them over certain things - old new now. But with Chelsea? Never.

"I swear to God, if I went to the Bridge and they booed me for 90 minutes and I scored the winner, I still wouldn't celebrate. It would never come into my head and I think the fans there understand me and how I feel about it. I would never celebrate against Chelsea. That would be ridiculous."
