Quotes Corner

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said: "I think the underdog talk for a game like this is better to come from outside, from people looking out to in.

"My job is just to prepare the game, look at the opponent and see if we can find weaknesses there. I understand if people do call us the underdog because their team is so strong and they have so much experience.

"But these things change. The underdog is there to change things around. We all love an underdog story and they are some of the best stories in sport."
