Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is determined to end Liverpool's resurgence of form when the two club's meet on Sunday. Liverpool's poor start to the season under new boss Roy Hodgson has been softened in recent weeks by successive victories against Blackburn and Bolton.
And Drogba believes that Liverpool will look to keep their revival going against Carlo Ancelotti's side.
"There is never a good time to go to Anfield because they are a very strong team," said Drogba. "They will try to use this game to start their season, so we have to be ready.
"We are seeing a different Liverpool than the one from earlier in the season. They have won their last two matches and their confidence is getting higher.
"We have to be careful. It's true that we shouldn't fear any team but we're going to have some difficult moments. Since I've been here, Chelsea v Liverpool has been special and it's always a difficult game. We're going there to win but it's not going to be easy.
"The most difficult opponent is ourselves. We know if we lose points like we did last year we can be in trouble again. It's down to us to keep winning and to keep the gap.
"It's not easy. There are only a few teams who have done it before. When we lost against Manchester City, the reaction was good and that's what we have to try to achieve."
