Veteran striker Didier Drogba is expecting a "crazy" Stamford Bridge
atmosphere when Chelsea attempt to clinch the Premier League title for
the first time in five years with a win at home to Crystal Palace on
Sunday. The 37-year-old former Ivory Coast international is dreaming of an
avalanche of goals against London rivals Palace, just like 2010 when
Chelsea wrapped up the championship with an 8-0 home drubbing of Wigan
Athletic.
"I remember when we had to play Wigan to win the title, the atmosphere
was crazy," Drogba told the club's in-house television channel. "I think
Sunday is going to be the same and I hope we are going to score a lot
of goals for the fans.
"It's a derby as well. Crystal Palace are going to come and show what they can do and try to disturb us but really I think Sunday has to be a blue day."
Drogba was on the bench for much of this season until top scorer Diego Costa suffered a hamstring injury in a 3-2 victory at Hull City on March 22 and since then the Ivorian has featured regularly in the starting line-up.
"I can't wait for Sunday," he said. "We just want to win the league now, that's the most important thing.
"Everybody is focused, everybody is waiting for Sunday to happen and to come quick because we really want to play that game."
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have a 13-point lead at the top of the table with five matches left to play.
