Default Lamps coy on prospect of all-English quarter final

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard insists his side will not be fazed if they are drawn to face English opposition in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Blues were dominant in beating Olympiacos 3-0 - Lampard joining Michael Ballack and Salomon Kalou on the scoresheet - to secure their place in the last eight, with Manchester United and Arsenal already there following wins yesterday.

Liverpool are also in the box seat of their last-16 clash with Inter Milan, carrying over a 2-0 advantage from the first leg.

And Lampard concedes the chances of meeting familiar opponents have increased.

He told Sky Sports News: ``What will be will be. If all four of us go through - and Liverpool are in a good position - there will be a great chance of an all English match.

``It's obviously great for England if we're all in there but if we draw one we will have to do deal with it.''

Lampard was booked in the second half at Stamford Bridge after going down in the Olympiacos area and he was unhappy at the implication.

``He (the referee) said it was because I threw my arms up. I was asking for a penalty but I don't mind not being given a penalty.

``But to call me a diver, that's not the way I play and it's unfortunate because it puts me on a yellow.''
