Lampard snr expects 'huge game'
Watford football consultant Frank Lampard Snr believes that there will be much at stake for all parties when his side meet Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend.[LNB] Chelsea will no doubt be desperate to make a good impression in front of new boss Guus Hiddink, while Watford can little afford a big blow to their confidence as they fight for Championship survival. [LNB]"It's a huge game for this football club," stressed Lampard Snr, who was drafted in to the Vicarage Road hierarchy last November.[LNB]"We are still in a relegation battle in the Championship so coming up against Chelsea means we can't really lose. I certainly can't, personally anyway, given my links with Chelsea.[LNB]"Brendan (Rodgers) and I had a feeling it was going to be Chelsea funnily enough and that's how it worked out. It's turned into a massive game for them as well now and it might be a good time to play Chelsea."[LNB]Family matterRodgers himself was formerly reserve team boss at Chelsea, while Lampard Snr has obvious links through his son - talismanic Blues midfielder Frank Lampard Jnr.[LNB]"When the draw was made, Frank rang me within four or five minutes and we had a chat about it and he's quite happy about it," added the 60-year-old former left-back.[LNB]"When he rang me, he said, 'Dad, make sure their midfield don't run with me, let me have a free run.'[LNB]"I can't repeat what I said to him as it won't go down too well but that is not going to happen.[LNB]"As long as we give a good account of ourselves we'll be happy. And if we can pull off a shock and get a result, then even better."[LNB]
