Drogba and Anelka are Chelsea keys – Man Utd’s Evra

The key to stopping Chelsea is to negate star strikers Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka according to Manchester United’s Patrice Evra.

The Red Devils take on the Blues in an important Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge this Sunday and the Frenchman has identified those two players as the main way to break down Chelsea whilst describing them as United’s main rivals.

"They are our most dangerous rivals every year. Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba are both great friends of mine and great players,” Evra said.

"If you want to win there you have to keep a clean sheet. So all the defenders will have to focus about this game. That's how we'll win it.

"We have to be ready and prepared to defend well. That will be the key. Anelka and Drogba are two very big strikers, so it will be a tough game.

"But we have the quality to win there. Chelsea are top of the league, so when you play well against them and win it's a really good feeling.”

Yeah, stopping them does a quarter of the job. Goals will come from other palyers like Lampard, Deco, Kalou, Ballack, CArvalho, Essien, you name it!
