WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…
Speaking to RamsTV Lampard said: “We are going there to win. We had a great result in the last round against Southampton, we know that.
“This game is potentially tougher indifferent ways, because of the turn around and the expectation on the game. We have to handle the other side in this one.
He added: “We have to give full respect to Accrington because they won the league by a fair margin last year, they are now in the league below us in midtable and they have players that can hurt us.
“It’s a difficult environment for us to go into, we will make no bones about it. It’s not an excuse, it’s just a fact and something we will need to deal with.”
