Gerrard v Lampard by the numbers

Before 35 year-old Steven Gerrard starts life after Liverpool with Los Angeles Galaxy and 37 year-old Frank Lampard finally turns out for Manchester City's sister club New York City FC in Major League Soccer, Press Association Sport looks at how their time in England compared.

PREMIER LEAGUE

Appearances: Gerrard 504 Lampard 609

Goals: Gerrard 120 Lampard 177

Titles: Gerrard 0 Lampard 3

It's a clean sweep for Lampard when it comes to the Premier League. Only Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney have scored more goals than Lampard while only Ryan Giggs managed more appearances. Gerrard is 16th and joint 10th respectively on those lists.

Lampard also picked up three winners medals all with Chelsea, in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 during Jose Mourinho's first spell at Stamford Bridge and in 2009-2010.

Gerrard never got his hands on the trophy, with his untimely slip against Lampard's Chelsea in 2013-2014 ultimately leading to Manchester City winning the league one - of three second-placed finishes.

FA CUP

Appearances: Gerrard 42 Lampard 73

Goals: Gerrard 14 Lampard 28

Cups: Gerrard 2 Lampard 4

Gerrard again comes up short here, despite his heroics in the 2006 FA Cup final. His stunning 30-yard strike rescued Liverpool from defeat against West Ham United and the Reds prevailed on penalties. That added to his first success in in 2001, when Michael Owen scored twice to see off Arsenal. Both finals took place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

All of Lampard's successes came at the new Wembley, as Chelsea won the competition four times in six years. Lampard played all 120 minutes as Chelsea beat Manchester United after extra-time in 2007 and then scored the winner against Everton in 2009. Lampard again played every minute the following year in a 1-0 success over Portsmouth and claimed his fourth medal by defeating Gerrard's Liverpool in 2012.

LEAGUE CUP

Appearances: Gerrard 30 Lampard 51

Goals: Gerrard 9 Lampard 23

Cups: Gerrard 3 Lampard 2

Despite Lampard playing and scoring more in the competition, Gerrard earned more medals. The Liverpool man won his first in 2001, despite being substituted before the Reds beat Birmingham on penalties, and he opened the scoring two years later as his side enjoyed a 2-0 win over bitter rival Manchester United.

Lampard's first came in 2005 as Chelsea once again beat Liverpool in a final, and the Blues won another two years later against Arsenal.

However, Gerrard finally got his hands on a trophy at Wembley as Liverpool beat Cardiff on spot-kicks in 2012. Gerrard missed his but cousin Anthony Gerrard missed the decisive one for the Bluebirds.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Appearances: Gerrard 73 Lampard 105

Goals: Gerrard 21 Lampard 23

Trophies: Gerrard 1 Lampard 1

As Liverpool's domestic form dipped, Gerrard was unable to participate in Europe's premier club competition as often as Lampard but he matched his opponent's tally of one title win and one final defeat.

After Liverpool saw off Chelsea in the semi-finals in 2005, Gerrard helped inspire Liverpool's famous comeback in Istanbul against AC Milan. Milan would get their revenge two years later, but only after the Reds saw off Chelsea in the last four once again.

Lampard eventually reached - and scored - in a Champions League final in 2008 before his side was beaten on penalties by Manchester United. But Lampard was not to be denied in 2012 as he captained the Blues to a shock shootout victory over Bayern Munich.

Each player won one UEFA Cup/Europa League but Gerrard won two UEFA Super Cups .

INTERNATIONALS - England

Caps: Gerrard 114 Lampard 106

Goals: Gerrard 21 Lampard 29

It was said the duo could not play together but they still each racked up a century of appearances. Gerrard earned more caps - only Peter Shilton and David Beckham managed more - but Lampard returned eight more goals.

Each took two penalties in shootouts for their country, with Gerrard scoring against Italy at EURO 2012, Lampard netting against Portugal at EURO 2004 but both missing against Portugal during the 2006 World Cup.
