Derby County manager Frank Lampard insists he will continue to respect former club Chelsea just as he did during a short stint with Manchester City.

The Blues legend scored for City against his former club while on a season-long loan spell in 2014. He refused to celebrate the goal and will maintain that composure when his Derby County side take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the fifth round of the Carabao Cup tonight.

"It will be easy because I respect the club," he said.

"When I scored against them, I didn't celebrate. I wouldn't have done in a million years. Although I was doing my job, I love Chelsea and had a strong bond with the fans that will hopefully never go.

"As a manager, I will be respectful because I have to appreciate what the club did for me. I will feel proud and honoured going back to a place I called home for 13 years and still feels like home.

"This is my working home now and I have got a great affiliation with this club already, but I can't forget 13 years of my career."
