Drogba Will Fire Chelsea To Victory

John Terry has warned Manchester United that Didier Drogba is desperate to shoot them down.

"Didier loves this club and when we lose a game there is no one more disappointed than him. He shows his anger and his frustration. People look at when he lost his rag after the game against Barcelona, it's because he cares about this club."

"From a Chelsea point of view, I love the way Didier reacted there. I'm sure if you are a Chelsea fan, sitting at home watching that, maybe it is not good to see. But at the same time he cares about Chelsea, the people in it and the people running it. That is what they want."

"People were quick to criticise him but for me, you see him in the dressing room and in training and you see him motivating the players and motivating himself, he really cares. And for the people in charge to see that and reward him with a new contract was great and I think he is paying them back."

"He is certainly proving his worth now and Manchester United will have their work cut out to contain him in the form he's in. He's on fire."

"Since pre-season I stressed how important Didier was to this football club. He does an awful lot for the team as well as score goals. He holds the ball and brings it down, and his build-up play is second to none. He is one of the best and most difficult strikers to play against in the world."

"It made me laugh when some people were saying that Didier was on his way out of this club. That was never going to happen. Chelsea fans and players and people around the club never doubted Didier."

"And I don't know a player who is more desperate to go out and beat United."

Terry also believes the Premier League title is Chelsea's for the taking.

"Is it there for the taking? I think it is. It's been three years since we last got our hands on the trophy and that's why we are frustrated when we go away and lose at Wigan, a chance to pull away from the pack and put ourselves six, seven points clear."

"If we can win, we will be giving ourselves a good cushion. We go to internationals after the game and that is a long time for them to be looking at the league table."

"You hear people saying that Chelsea are back to where we want to be and enjoying watching us play. We lost there in January, we lost other points at home against the big sides as well, but I think they got momentum from that and we can really do the same here."

"I think it is important before Christmas because obviously we will lose players to the Africa Cup of Nations. I think it's a good time to be playing them."
