Derby County boss Frank Lampard has revealed it will be an 'honour' to take on Marcelo Bielsa when his Rams side play Leeds United tomorrow.

The Chelsea legend is just embarking on his own managerial career, whereas Bielsa is in the Championship boasting a wealth of experience.

The Argentinian has coached in South America, Spain and at World Cup's, establishing himself as one of the most respected figures in the game with his tactical approach and attack-minded football.

And, speaking to the media ahead of the clash at Pride Park, Lampard revealed how excited he was to come up against the 63-year old.

Both club's got off to perfect starts last week, although the manner of the victories were very different.

Derby undeservedly snatched all three points at Reading thanks to a very late Tom Lawrence header, whereas Leeds had too much for Stoke at Elland Road, running out 3-1 winners.

The game is the late kick-off in the Championship tomorrow after it was selected for live TV coverage.

The Verdict

This will be an intriguing game and it will be fascinating to see who wins the battle between Lampard and Bielsa.

Both seem clear on the way they want to play the game and will be demanding that they control possession and play on the front foot.

As Lampard says though, it's a great experience for him to come up against such a renowned coach in just his second game but it's all about the result.
