Didier Drogba denies the Premiership will be decided between Chelsea and Manchester United. Drogba has scored 11 goals as the Blues have opened up a five-point lead over United with Tottenham five points further back.

But the Ivory Coast striker has refused to rule Spurs out of the reckoning and insisted Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all in with a shout.

He told the January issue of FourFourTwo magazine: "It's still too early to say that [it's a two-horse race].

"I honestly think Liverpool can get back into it because we haven't played enough games to rule them out.

"Arsenal have always had lots of quality, but they're a lot more consistent this season, while Manchester City and Tottenham are stronger as well."
