Gerrard determined to make Frank's 100th cap a day to remember with Ukraine win

Steven Gerrard wants England to mark Frank
Lampard's entry in to the 100 club with a vital
qualification win over Ukraine.
Manager Roy Hodgson confirmed that Lampard
will start Tuesday's crunch match in Ukraine, thus
making him the eighth Englishman to reach 100
caps.
Gerrard brought his century up last season when
he led the team out in Stockholm, but the night
proved to be an experience to forget as Zlatan
Ibrahimovic ran England ragged in a 4-2 victory
for the Scandinavians.
Gerrard, who will move level with Billy Wright on
105 caps on Tuesday, does not want Lampard's
night at the Olympic Stadium to be tainted by a
defeat which would put England's qualification
hopes in doubt.
'It will be a special night for Frank, but we want to
remember it for the right result,' the England
captain said.
'I lost on my 100th cap so hopefully that won't
happen for Frank. Hopefully he will go away with
fond memories.'
Hodgson hinted England will cast off the shackles
of conservatism and go for the jugular in Kiev
even though a draw would be enough to keep the
Three Lions top of Group H with two matches left.
Gerrard echoed his manager's comments and also
claimed that it will be Ukraine, and not England,
who go into the match under the most pressure.
'We are coming here to win the match,' Gerrard
said. 'If it ends up being a draw it's a better result
for us than Ukraine.
'The pressure lies on Ukraine to win the game and
to take the game to us.'
At 33, Gerrard is entering the twilight of his
international career just like Lampard.
As a result, the Liverpool midfielder is desperate
to make sure England qualify for the World Cup in
Brazil.
He hopes his drive, and that of the other senior
members of the squad, will help push the squad
through to qualification.
'It will be our last crack at doing well at a World
Cup and hopefully that will be infectious within the
rest of the group," said Gerrard, who made his
England debut against Ukraine 13 years ago.
'We hope the rest of the lads can see how much
we want it and they can feed off that.'
