Gareth Barry believes Aston Villa must beware Frank Lampard's 'incredible' goal threat on Saturday.[LNB] The Villa star is an international colleague of the Chelsea man, with England, and knows just how dangerous his fellow midfielder can be.[LNB]Barry insists Lampard's attacking instincts and keen eye for goal make him as big a threat as any of the Blues' strikers.[LNB]It is therefore vital to Villa's cause this weekend that they are able to nullify the threat posed by a man who regularly breaks the 20-goal barrier from the middle of the park.[LNB]"To score the amount of goals he has in his career is incredible for a midfielder and we must be aware of his threat," Barry told Villa's official website.[LNB]"He hits the ball so sweetly and whether it be long-range or tap-ins, Frank always seems to be in the right place at the right time.[LNB]"His all-round play is also very good and he sets up a lot of openings for his team-mates.[LNB]"He's consistent every week which is why he's one of the best players in the Premier League."[LNB]
