Didier Drogba admits Chelsea's November slump has been the worst run since he joined the club more than six years ago. [LNB]Against a backdrop of upheaval behind the scenes, Carlo Ancelotti's team have taken only four points from five Barclays Premier League games this month. [LNB]They badly need a change of fortune with four fixtures looming against Everton, Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal which could define their title defence. [LNB] Speaking out: Didier Drogba says Chelsea must stop conceding early goals as it's ruining their title chances[LNB]Drogba said: 'It is maybe the worst run of form I've known since I came to the club. It is not a good moment.' [LNB]Injuries to senior players have exposed Ancelotti's shallow squad and stand-in captain Drogba has seen his own form fade as he suffered from malaria. [LNB]SLOW-VEMBER Chelsea's Premier League games this month: lost 2-0 at Liverpool, won 1-0 home to Fulham, lost 3-0 home to Sunderland, lost 1-0 at Birmingham, drew 1-1 at Newcastle. [LNB]He started the season with a hat-trick against West Brom but has not scored in the League for two months. [LNB]'It is not happening in front of goal,' said Drogba. [LNB]'I had some moments where I didn't even create chances and I was scoring goals but this is a moment where I'm creating maybe more chances than usual. I am a bit unlucky. [LNB]'The most important thing is not thatI am not scoring but we are losing points.[LNB]Chelsea have not won in three PremierLeague games since Ancelotti's popular assistant Ray Wilkins was sackedand the disruption continues with director of football Frank Arnesen quitting at the end of the season. [LNB] Welcome return: Chelsea can look forward to to Michael Essien making his comeback from suspension [LNB]Michael Essien is expected to return against Everton after a three-match ban and a toe injury and Frank Lampard is due to train again with the first team on Tuesday for the first time since his latest setback. [LNB]Lampard has not played since a herniaoperation in August and his return has been delayed by hamstring and groin injuries. Ancelotti hopes John Terry might play on Saturday, although the Chelsea captain is reluctant to rush into action before he is satisfied the nerve problem in his leg is resolved.
