Didier Drogba helped Chelsea win the Premier League four times during two spells at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues legend doesn’t fancy the west London side’s chances of adding a fifth title to their list of honours this season.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech was a teammate of Drogba in all four of Chelsea’s title-winning campaigns. Cech now plays for Arsenal, who Drogba reckons could end the 2015-16 season as champions of England.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Drogba claimed that Chelsea were too far behind their rivals to be considered serious challengers.
Jose Mourinho’s men currently sit 15th in the Premier League table after 13 rounds of fixtures. They are 14 points behind surprise leaders Leicester City.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are fourth, just two points off Leicester, who play second-placed Manchester United this weekend.
After tipping the Gunners for Premier League glory, Drogba was asked if he thought ‘they have enough to win the title’. He replied: “They have Petr Cech.”
