Who thinks so too? As Thegoalmac can reveal that Cesar Azpilicueta says it will be "weird" to see Frank Lampard lining up for the opposition when Manchester City visit Chelsea on Saturday.
Lampard spent 13 trophy-laden years at Chelsea, where he won three
Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League and Europa
League.
Now at Manchester City, Lampard will return to Stamford
Bridge for the first time on Saturday as the Premier League's top two
sides meet in a crucial encounter in west London.
The reverse
fixture back in September saw Lampard come off the bench to score a late
equaliser in a 1-1 draw, a goal he barely celebrated against his former
club.
And Azpilicueta, who played alongside Lampard for two
years before the midfielder's departure, believes it will be strange to
see a man synonymous with Chelsea line up for the opposition.
"Lampard is a Chelsea legend and obviously it will be weird to see him playing in another shirt," he told Sky Sports.
"He will get a reception of a legend at Stamford Bridge. But he's
professional and when he’s on the pitch he will try to win for his team.
"The game at the Etihad was really tight. We scored when they had 10
men and were winning 1-0. They pushed a lot and we couldn’t manage the
pressure from them and Lampard arrived to score the equaliser.
"Games against City are always tough and very tight, and this is a big game in the league.
"We know we have to win every game, every week, at home and away, so it is important because we play against a big team.
"In terms of the title, at the end there are still a lot of games to
go. If we win, we are not going to say we’ve won the title and if we
lose we’re not going to say we’ve lost the title.
"A lot of things can happen between now and the end of the season."
