  Chelsea hero Drogba: We must beat Man Utd

  Didier Drogba says victory over Manchester United this weekend is essential for Chelsea.

  Drogba struck twice in last night's 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid.

  He said: “It is really important for us to beat United at home. We have to improve and show different qualities and be better than we were in Madrid.

  “The match against Atletico was far from a good performance, we played well but were not good enough to win. I think we were thinking about Sunday's game. For their equaliser we could have done better with the wall and maybe avoided the free-kick. It's frustrating to concede a goal like this after the efforts we produced.”

  Drogba, who missed the first three games in Europe through suspension, is full of confidence after scoring 12 times in his last 13 starts. He said: “I think this is my best period for Chelsea. A few years ago I was playing with the same confidence. It's always easier when you are playing injury-free.”

  Man Utd's Fletcher: Beating Chelsea important psychologically

  Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher admits they would gain a mental edge on Chelsea if they can win in London this weekend.

  United are trailing behind Premiership leaders Chelsea in the current standings.

  "There's a long way to go yet in the title race, but Sunday's game could be important psychologically," he told MUTV. "We'll just concentrate on ourselves - we know we're capable of going there and winning. It won't be easy, but we'll go there with a game plan and the manager will have a lot of options for the side he wants to pick and we'll try and get a result."

  After years of duking it out for top honours at home and abroad, United and Chelsea have few secrets. Nevertheless, Fletcher insists the reigning champions are capable of inflicting a rare home defeat on the Blues.

  "They're a top side," he said. "We've both been challenging for the title over the last five or six years and there's great respect between the two sides. We know what to expect, it'll be a great challenge for us at Stamford Bridge. They've got a great record there, but it's up to us to go there and try and get the win."

  Man Utd's Evra: Chelsea away one game I want to win

  Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra admits Chelsea away is the one game he is desperate to win.

  It'll be no easy task though with United up against a side who have plundered 19 goals in their last five games.

  "We have to make sure we keep a clean sheet against Chelsea," Evra told MUTV.

  "When people ask me which game I want to win this season it's the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. So it's going to be a very important match for us."

  Deco: Chelsea firepower too much for Man Utd

  Deco insists Chelsea can out-gun Manchester United in tomorrow's big game.

  The Premier League's top two meet on Sunday, and Deco is backing the Blues - currently top by two points - to extend their lead.

  "The big difference between us and United is in attack," said Deco. "Drogba is enjoying a spectacular moment in his career and is superior to the front-line of United.

  "For me, Didi will be the key - the star of the match, for sure."

  Deco also believes that the game is worth more than just three points.

  "This match has a four-point value, an extra one for the blow to United's morale because they also failed to beat Liverpool," he said.

  "If they fail in London they will need to think very much about things in the following days.

  "Victories in classic matches like this always have enormous value.

  "For Chelsea to begin November with a five-point advantage over United will be sensational."
