Gerrard tells Lampard: It’s war

Defending league champions LA, who are aided by the talented trio of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane and Giovani Dos Santos, are clear favourites at 2/5 (1.40), whilst a draw is 7/2 (4.50) with bookmakers Paddy Power.

“It’s certainly not the Premier League, but it is striving for that and hopefully one day it will get there”.

“I’m sure Frank agrees it’s slightly embarrassing to have all the focus on you when it’s Los Angeles Galaxy versus New York”, he said. That gives an ideal of the level.

New York City FC midfielder Frank Lampard admitts that he is looking forward to going back to Chelsea for the chance to see old friends and people behind the scenes.

In regard to Lampard’s injuries since joining the expansion team, Kreis told Crooks: “It’s been amazingly frustrating for him and all of us know I’m frustrated”. “So it has surprised me and it is better than I thought”.

“I felt the same with all my England team-mates, it does feel different”. When the game’s over we become friends again. We’re both winners we’re both professional. Keane had multiple goals in three of his last six MLS matches, Dos Santos has registered a goal or an assist in his first four games against all competition, and Gerrard has gone a total of 90 minutes in the midfield in his last three MLS games.

“We fight against each other, we always have”.

‘We’re in a good place, we’ve got everyone fit and available.

Frank Lampard, David Villa and Andrea Pirlo have all joined the Big Apple side this season but they remain definite outsiders on their first trip to the StubHub Center and have been priced as 5/1 (6.00) to take maximum points.

“I’ve got nothing but respect and admiration for him as a player”.
