Challenge

Drogba admits that Arsenal will pose a big challenge to The Blues, and is anticipating a tense encounter. He said: "Arsenal are a wonderful team with the ball, but we are very powerful. "At this time of ths season you won't see any big scores between the teams because all the games are now pressure games. "Hopefully we will come out stronger from the big encounters." The Ivory Coast international is looking forward to facing former Chelsea team-mate William Gallas and compatriot Kolo Toure. "Hopefully I will score on Sunday," he continued. "I will be against my mates but they also know it will not be easy for them. "William knows he is coming to the cauldron of Stamford Bridge, like with Ashley Cole [at Arsenal], he will be booed. But they are top players and I will need help from the crowd to unsettle William."
