Frank Lampard pumped up to face Steven Gerrard in MLS despite admitting their rivalry has cooled

Daily Mail | August 19, 2016

Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard will once again lock horns on Saturday, this time in Major League Soccer, and the former Chelsea icon is relishing the prospect of another clash.

Lampard, 38, will welcome Gerrard, 36, to the Big Apple as his New York City outfit take on LA Galaxy at the Yankee Stadium.

It is the first time the former England international colleagues have come up against each other in MLS, with Lampard having missed the 5-1 defeat at Galaxy's StubHub Centre in August due to calf injury.

And Lampard - who enjoyed numerous tense battles with Liverpool legend Gerrard in the Premier League - believes they will be able to enjoy meeting one another more than they did during their heated rivalry in England.
