Sarri will also discuss his future with the Chelsea hierarchy "to know if they are happy with me" after their final in Baku.

Lampard, who won three league titles at Stamford Bridge, reiterated he was happy at Derby but will discuss the club's direction and his own future after Wembley.

He said: "I've got two years left on my contract here and I see no further forward than Monday.

"I will sit down with Mel after the game, which was planned before all this talk anyway, to see firstly what the result was on Monday because that's going to define how we chat.

"It's as simple as that. I find it quite difficult because they (Chelsea) have a game coming up – more importantly for me we have a game coming up before that.

"And also they have a manager in Sarri who is trying to get them to win that final.

"It's been a bit of an obvious link all season. If I say it's maybe because of where we're at – in the final – and we're being talked about and I get linked because of my 13 years at the club, then I understand the link.

"But in terms of how I'm seeing it, I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about it. I want to talk about Monday, I want to work with the team and get this over the line for us."

Derby won 4-2 on aggregate in their semi-final against Leeds, the team caught spying on a Rams training session earlier in the season.

Lampard and the squad celebrated wildly on the pitch and in the changing room, with the manager paying a £2,800 bar bill afterwards.

But the 40-year-old insisted his players have refocused.

"I don't remember feeling so much determinations to win a game, that's why it spilled over at the end," he said.

"We definitely had to come back down to earth from that. We are calm and ready to play because beating Leeds in the semi-final might have felt great but this one is the one which really means something."
