Cole fires warning over Chelsea duo

Andy Cole has warned Manchester United to be on their guard on two fronts on Sunday when they face Chelsea at Old Trafford. Cole, who scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for the club, believes Didier Drogba and Michael Essien could hurt his former side. United are three points ahead of Chelsea at the top with three games remaining and also knocked their opponents out of the Champions League. Cole told Press Association Sport: "When Drogba wants to play he causes problems. When he came out in the Champions League he did that. "I do not think that has been his attitude all season. But I would imagine he will be fired up as he was in the Champions League after being left on the bench. "As for the midfield Essien is a big plus for them. When he plays well, so do Chelsea. If we can nullify him and keep him quiet we will have a great chance as Frank Lampard has been disappointing in all the big games against United."
