Chelsea manager Frank Lampard speaking ahead of the Boxing Day Premier League clash away to Arsenal stated insists that form is no barometer in such games.

"When you play a derby form does go out the window. Sometimes the idea of playing the derby is the spur that the team needs to try to get a result.

"So we have to expect the best Arsenal, which is a really good footballing team, with really good players, well-coached, rotations in their team, lots of threats in attacking areas. That's what I expect, so we have to prepare for that."
