Lampard: Man City won't underestimate Burnley

Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard insists they won't underestimate Burnley.

The Blues were held 2-2 against the Clarets back in December, with Sean Dyche's men recovering from two goals down with only 33 minutes played.

"I played there with Chelsea just once and beat them 1-0 so the record is good in that respect," Lampard smiled. "Burnley is a very traditional, homely club and the sort we all respect from the outside.

"They've given it a real go this season and there is a family connection because my dad used to work with Sean Dyche at Watford when he was the Under-18s coach and he has a lot of respect for Sean."
