The derby is one of English football’s fiercest, with the relationship between Lampard and Mourinho adding even more spice. But Mourinho is frustrated by Chelsea’s 48 hours extra rest time before the game.

And asked if he felt a level of solidarity with his former manager, Lampard said: ‘Yes. I’m not sure what team Jose can pick for Thursday. He’s got a strong squad and he can make rotations. But if you’re not going to get up ready to attack a London derby, then you shouldn’t be in this game.’

Chelsea could seal their place in the Champions League last 16 with victory in France, which would allow Lampard to rest players in their final two group matches.

‘I’ve looked at the schedule through December and it’s brutal,’ he said. 

‘We’re due to play Arsenal on Boxing Day and then Aston Villa two days later. If we were to make it into the next round, it would be an opportunity to look at players who need minutes, or rest players.’

Lampard said he would hold talks with Olivier Giroud to resolve his situation in January, but was adamant the France striker would feature in the coming weeks.

Giroud is open to leaving to ensure he stays in Didier Deschamps’ plans for next summer’s Euros.

The 34-year-old scored twice against Sweden last week to take his France tally to 44, behind only Thierry Henry (51) on his country’s list of all-time scorers. But Lampard added: ‘My first thought always has to be the strength of our squad.

‘I will be relying on top players in December. I’ll always be honest with Oli, but I still think he’s got a big contribution to make for us.’
