Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is hoping Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard will be on the bench for Thursday's London derby at White Hart Lane. The 33 year old has been a regular starter for Chelsea for most of the last decade, but has had to play a largely peripheral role recently, starting three of the last six games from the bench.
"He is a fantastic player so if he is not playing I wouldn't be too disappointed.
"Look at his record - he scores nearly 20 goals a year every year.
"That's incredible for a midfielder." "I hope he isn't playing tomorrow," Redknapp admitted.
