Everton will be tricky for us, admits Drogba

1/2
11 April 2012

Didier Drogba believes Everton will prove a tough test for Chelsea at Goodison Park tonight even though he is playing against another team he can't stop scoring against.

Drogba, who struck twice in the win against Arsenal on Sunday to take his tally against them to 12 from as many matches, also boasts a fine record against Everton.

He has scored six times in his last eight league appearances against David Moyes's side as well as netting the opening goal in Chelsea's win over them in the FA Cup Final last May.

However, Drogba said: "You can forget about my goals against Everton. It counts for nothing when it is a new game. It is always difficult against them. They make the game tricky because they are on a small pitch and it is difficult to find space."

But Moyes is not too alarmed by the presence of Drogba and the manager says he has his own man to counter the threat of the Ivory Coast striker - Frenchman Louis Saha.

Moyes said: "We try to keep good players here and we have done that with Louis. He has always been in the top bracket of strikers. Everyone who has played against him and the managers who have worked with him would tell you he has real ability."
