Frank Lampard: 'Villa Park return will be special'

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard admits that he will enjoy returning to Villa Park, where he became the club's record goalscorer last season.

Frank Lampard has said that returning to Villa Park this weekend will bring back a "great memory" for him.

The Chelsea midfielder scored his 203rd goal for the club at Aston Villa's ground last season, becoming the team's leading goalscorer of all time.

The 35-year-old told Chelsea's official website: "It'll always be a great memory for me in football, one of my best, so it'll be nice to go back there.

"The past is certainly heavily on my mind at a lot of places we go to. As a personal moment Villa will always stay with me, while Bolton is always a good one to go back to from when we won the league there for the first time. The flip side is there are certain grounds you don't feel so confident at because you've had negative days there.

"Players definitely do reminisce about this kind of thing, as I get a bit older I certainly look back on things like that more, but because there's so much going on in your head looking to the future I don't think you can dwell too much on it."

The league leaders have not lost in their last four matches.
