Djourou targeting Chelsea as Arsenal continue their return to form

Johan Djourou feels Arsenal's form is beginning to turn and has targeted Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

The Gunners have won their past three matches in all competitions culminating in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Stoke City, not long before a nine-men Blues outfit were beaten by West London rivals QPR 1-0 at Loftus Road.

Djourou now believes that Arsenal are capable of continuing their return to form by taking down Andre Villas-Boas' charges this coming Saturday.

"I think it would prove that the team is getting back on track," he said.

"We shouldn't put too much pressure on ourselves because we have a game on Tuesday first (Carling Cup against Bolton) which is very important as well.

"It is a massive game like any other but they are a top-four team and we want to get a result.

"The most important thing is playing our game. If we can stick to that and play the way Arsenal play we are going to be dangerous.

"I think that the team is starting to build up slowly. There were a lot of questions about this team but I think that we showed we have the character and the quality to do something.

"We are not concentrating on anything else but thinking about game after game. We just want to get results and the three points."
