'The best answer is to show what you can do on the pitch': Chelsea star Ross Barkley unlikely to be fazed by abuse from Everton fans, says Frank Lampard ahead of Premier League clash

When he runs out at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Ross Barkley is likely to get abuse from those Everton fans who once adored him, but the Chelsea and England midfielder is unlikely to do an 'Eric Dier' according to his manager Frank Lampard.

Dier ran into the stands at Tottenham on Wednesday to confront a supporter who was involved in an altercation with his brother, and may face an FA charge.

But Lampard, who learned to deal with abuse from fans of his former club West Ham, says Barkley would not react in the same way.
