Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard claims Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are currently the best strike partnership playing in world football.

Drogba's 14 goals and Anelka's haul of six have helped the Blues build a comfortable five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table and reach the last 16 of the Champions League with two games to spare.

Lampard himself has chipped in with six goals of his own, but the England midfielder has admitted he is in awe of the two players in front of him.

He explained: "Didier is so strong and his all-round game is brilliant, when he plays his best I don't think there is anyone to match him.

"And I want to talk about Anelka as well, because he is right up there with him. We have the best strikers in the world.

"When you have those men up front who are organised like we have, their partnership is absolutely formidable.

"When you are playing well and a lot of big players are fit and playing well then you go to games with a winning belief."
