Drogba issues Liverpool warning
Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba is determined to end Liverpool's mini-revival after grabbing his first European goal of the season for Chelsea in their 4-1 Champions League success against Spartak Moscow.
But now Chelsea face a difficult away trip to Liverpool on Sunday and Drogba, who captained the side against Spartak in the absence of the rested John Terry and the injured Frank Lampard, wants the Blues to maintain their healthy five-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
And Drogba believes that Liverpool, who will be without former Chelsea star Joe Cole through injury, will look to keep their revival going against Carlo Ancelotti's side.
"There is never a good time to go to Anfield because they are a very strong team," said Drogba. "They will try to use this game to start their season, so we have to be ready.
"We are seeing a different Liverpool than the one from earlier in the season. They have won their last two matches and their confidence is getting higher.
"We have to be careful. It's true that we shouldn't fear any team but we're going to have some difficult moments. Since I've been here, Chelsea v Liverpool has been special and it's always a difficult game. We're going there to win but it's not going to be easy."
