Blackburn defender Samba up for big clash with Chelsea star Drogba

Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba is up for his clash with Chelsea ace Didier Drogba.

Samba knows he must be at the top of his game tomorrow against the Ivorian.

He said: "I always look forward to playing against the best players in the country to test how good your game is - and Drogba is one of them.

"Drogba is a really tough opponent. He's very powerful, dangerous and scores a lot of goals. It is always a battle against him.

"I know it's going to be a difficult afternoon for me and the rest of the team. He's definitely one of the most powerful forwards I've ever come up against."
