Frank Lampard reveals his plan for Manchester City match

Chelsea will welcome Manchester City to Stamford Bridge on Thursday 25 June.

However, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has revealed he already has an idea of how his team will look like against Manchester City.

“I did tentatively have a team in my mind for Man City before this game,” Lampard told The Athletic.

“I did try and look at things but it is hard not to get ahead of yourself because what happens in a game can always affect your thinking for the next one.

“I have got an idea. We will look at how players recover first and foremost. It’s a big ask for some who played 90 minutes when I didn’t expect them to. Some have been out for a while. But I will look at that.

“It will be a different type of game against a team that will play possession. Pressing is a big part of our game and we couldn’t do it against Aston Villa, it was more about getting second balls. Against Manchester City, we will want to be more aggressive in terms of winning it back.”
