Ancelotti relishes Drogba return

LONDON: Carlo Ancelotti believes the return of Didier Drogba to the Chelsea squad this weekend will have a major impact on his side's title hopes.

Without Drogba, Ancelotti's team still scored 16 goals in four unbeaten games, culminating with a 3-0 victory over Birmingham that moved them back to the head of the Premier League table.

Two goals from Frank Lampard and one from Florent Malouda completed the win that put Chelsea one point ahead of Manchester United and two ahead of Arsenal having played a game less than their two main rivals.
