Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is staying modest ahead of his favourite side's visit to Stamford Bridge.Arsenal will travel to Chelsea for the London derby wary of the man who has tormented them in past meetings.
The Ivorian has a sensational record against the Gunners - having netted 12 times in 10 games against them. Looking ahead to the latest clash between the two heavyweights, Drogba told Chelsea's official website: "I can say that I am a bit lucky because I scored a few goals against them."Every game is different. I remember some games when we played well against Arsenal, but this one will be a different one, I don't know how.
The burly striker doesn't think this game will decide the destination of the Premier League trophy this season.
"I won't say [it is] critical because the season is long. Last year Arsenal were 10 points behind us and they came back and they were fighting for the league with three games to go, so it's going to be a big game, an important game, but not one that will say Chelsea or Arsenal will be champions," he opined.
"I think we can beat anybody but we can also lose against anybody, that's football and you want to win when you come to the pitch but you never know if you're going to win or not.
"You can't win all the games, you wish you could but you can't. Teams like Manchester City are improving and spent a lot of money on quality players.
"Now they can compete with the big teams but we try to focus on our team and always try to find the best way to win games and also to entertain the crowd."
Speaking of his own injury woes, the forward said: "It is a strange start to the season for me, I scored goals and made some assists but I am not really 100 percent yet with the surgery I had in pre-season so it is a bit difficult for me to catch up but I am doing my best and I hope that maybe in one or two weeks I will be better."
In addition to Drogba, Arsenal will also have to be wary of Chelsea's in-form man Florent Malouda. The Frenchman has been one of the players of the season so far and will threaten Wenger's men with his ability to cut in from the left or down the centre and unleash some lethal strikes
