Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits he's excited to see how Tammy Abraham compares with Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin today.

Abraham has impressed again for the Blues this season, with five goals and six assists in all competitions, while Calvert-Lewin is Everton's top scorer, and Lampard believes having two young strikers in form is a real positive for the national team.

"It's an exciting battle and I've professed my love for Tammy enough as my player," the boss said.

"What I do respect about Calvert-Lewin is his career feels like a career he has worked for. I know that sounds simple but it's not a straightforward path. Not everybody gets into their first teams at 17 or 18, other than the Wayne Rooneys and Michael Owens of the world.

"Other players have to find different ways and he has shown himself last season, and particularly this season, consistently as an all-round striker with every part of his game, a real threat."
