Chelsea

Fulham will not be easy for Chelsea. After two draws in the last two games, Chelsea are targeted to get the full points when faced with Fulham on Monday (12/26/2011). However, The Cottagers should not be underestimated. After a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic, Chelsea repeating similar results when meeting with Tottenham Hotspur. result, they were stalled at four positions standings with 33.

Also Chelsea are also rumored to want to get Gonzalo Higuain. Gonzalo Higuain actually still have the energy that is needed by Real Madrid. However, because often sit on the bench, too, began to appear the news that there are some teams that approached him. At least from the British soil blown news that Chelsea have set up a fund of 24 million pounds to get the Argentine striker, such as reported by the Daily Mail. The Blues touted requires the attacker after Fernando Torres never found his best game and Didier Drogba started with age. However, Chelsea are not alone. The same source also mentioned that Juventus are also keen to bring in players who were born in France.

Higuain has played this season as much as 15 times in La Liga with 12 goals donations.The record is quite good, but he must be willing to position rotated with Karim Benzema by Jose Mourinho. Even on some occasions Higuain must be willing to sit on the bench, such as El Clasico match some time ago.

The Blues Problems

Fulham have a poor record when it comes to face his neighbors in West London and they have never won the Derby London in the Premier League era, outside Craven Cottage. Of the 35 games, they lost 23 times and drew 12 matches.

Even so Chelsea was not without flaw because this season they have lost twice at home, from Liverpool and Arsenal. Moreover, they were hit by injury crisis after the central defender Branislav Ivanovic.
Now ‘The Blue’ had lived as a central defender John Terry is fit despite David Luiz is predicted when the game was able to recover counter Fulham.

Chelsea could re-use David Luiz after the Boxing Day. But they will look for another central defender in the transfer window tomorrow and we should have to respond quickly when the transfer window opened. Not only about the crisis center back, the appearance of the main goalkeeper, Petr Cech, also disappointing in the last two games. Blunders committed the Cech Republic’s goalkeeper Chelsea failed to win from Wigan and Tottenham Hotspur.

When the ball comes, Petr Cech a little late and Adebayor kicking the ball into the goal. But Bale is very good crossing and Cech merasarasa little too late a few inches.

So Manchester United also failed to widen the distance with Chelsea in second place and remain three points in three games remaining this season.

Didier Drogba when Chelsea appears remarkable run over Wigan Athletic, by scoring a hat-trick. Not in the affairs of goals but assists. Chelsea win big six goals without reply when treated Wigan, Sunday (22/08/2010). Florent Malouda opened the feast of goals, each followed by two goals from Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou, before Yossi Benayoun closed. This match was highly awaited on the premier league bets.

There’s no Drogba’s name in there, but the Premier League last season topscorer still shows luster by making three assists to his colleagues in the party’s goals.

Kian remarkable for Drogba if the view of other Chelsea 6-0 victory in the opening Premiership match against West Bromwich Albion last week. At that moment the bomber Ivory Coast made three goals for ‘The Blue’.

Furthermore, in the last match Chelsea in the Premier League last season Drogba had scored three goals for his team. At the time Chelsea won 8-0 over Wigan large newly dilibas.

Nicolas Anelka feels that Didier Drogbais the right partner in the Chelsea forward line. He was sure they both will become a dangerous duo in the UK and also Europe.

Anelka is now not so worried about his position on the front lines. French international striker’s performance this past season was indeed quite satisfactory, where he became the top scorer with 19 on English Premier League.

However, Anelka also know that he has a partner who is also tough enough that Drogba. Moreover, the opportunity both to be pretty couple wide open because Carlo Ancelotti has adopted a 4-4-2 diamond formation.

This 30-year-old player was confident that with Drogba up front they will become the most dangerous duo.
