Lampard admits Chelsea leaning heavily on Drogba tonight

Frank Lampard admits Chelsea will be leaning heavily on Didier Drogba in tonight's Champions League clash at Inter Milan.

The Ivory Coast striker had his best goalscoring campaign in Mourinho's last full season in England - netting 33 times in 2006-07 - but is on course to beat it this term after notching 25.

"He's the best and his all-round game is fantastic," said Lampard. "Wayne Rooney is the only one that touches him and they're head to head in the battle for best player of the season.

"When he is as good as he was against Arsenal, Cardiff and Wolves there is no one better."
