But having watched his side improve significantly since suffering a huge loss at Old Trafford on the opening day of the league season, Lampard could not contain his excitement at meeting the Red Devils again.
“Two big teams. I am pleased we are at home. A lot can happen in football in a short time and this next round of the draw is not coming tomorrow,” Lampard told chelseafc.com.
Man United have good players and they beat us 4-0 at the start of the season, albeit it was not like a 4-0, so it is going to be a tough game.’
