Frank Lampard: "The game at the weekend will be a lot harder for us now that Alan Shearer has taken over for the time being at Newcastle.

"You can imagine what the atmosphere is going to be like up there. Alan Shearer is regarded as a God up there with the fans - and quite rightly so after what he achieved for the club.

"He will definitely get the Newcastle fans going, he will get the Newcastle players going and, unfortunately for us, this sort of thing seems to happen quite a bit.

"We had the same scenario when we went and played Manchester City just after they signed Robinho. But we have to react to the atmosphere and we have to try and get a result to put us back on track after the Tottenham game."
