Didier Drogba believes Chelsea will prove they can last the pace in the Premier League title race by brushing aside fellow FA Cup finalists Everton today. With three trophies still in their sights, Guus Hiddink's team have no time to rest after Saturday's FA Cup semi-final win over Arsenal.
Hiddink admits beating Everton in the final on May 30 would be the perfect way to end his brief reign as Chelsea manager before resuming his full-time post as Russia coach. But Hiddink will head back to Moscow with even more medals in his suitcase if Chelsea, who face a Champions League semi-final against Barcelona later this month, can triumph in Europe and overhaul Manchester United in the league.
The Blues trail United by four points and the leaders have a game in hand so there is no margin for error.
Chelsea's task is made harder by the frantic nature of their fixture list from now until that Wembley date with Everton.
"When you go to the end of the season there are big games all the time and when you play Chelsea you have to perform in them if you want to win trophies," Drogba said.
