Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel says they must be wary of Everton striker Victor Anichebe today.

The pair play together for Nigeria.

"Victor is a very good player," said Mikel. "He is young and always hungry. Whenever I speak to him he always says he needs to play more and I agree with him. Sometimes when I see him play he is a beast - he is very, very difficult to play against.

"This season from what I have heard he is doing well and has scored a few goals. He has come back from a very bad injury as well.

"So for him to come back strongly and be playing the way he is then credit to him. It is going to be nice to see him but it is always difficult to play against him, he is very quick and strong."
