Didier Drogba has lent his support to former Chelsea teammate Petr Cech in the race for the Premier League title.

Drogba was quizzed by Sky Sports News HQ on which club he believes can take out this season's premiership and was happy to back Arsenal who signed the star goalkeeper from Stamford Bridge in the summer.

"I think Manchester City will be as strong as they have been in the last few years," Drogba said.

"Unfortunately Chelsea are too far [behind in the title race], so I will go for my friend Petr Cech at Arsenal."

When asked if the Gunners have the squad to win it, Drogba replied: "They have got Petr Cech!"
