Chelsea's £30million summer signing Andriy Shevchenko has been challenged to find his best form by Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
The 30-year-old Ukraine striker has failed to find the net in his last four games, with Mourinho admitting that Didier Drogba is the man leading the Blues line at the moment.
The Portuguese told the Daily Mirror: "I expect to see a better Shevchenko with the same Drogba.
"Didier is right where he has to be, very strong physically and available to fight in every aspect of the game.
"He is scoring goals, working in defence and attack, helping out at set-pieces, everything. Sheva knows I want more from him. He wants more from himself.
"I don't think he can say he has had problems adapting to our style of play because at the moment we are using the system he played all his life at AC Milan.
"Because we don't have two pure wingers to use at the moment, we are playing 4-4-2 with a diamond and two players in attack.
"But he is an absolutely beautiful player and I know he will come good.
"He will score goals and will finish the season among the Premiership's top goalscorers."
