Anelka: Win at Anfield or forget title challenge.Byline: BY ADRIAN CURTIS Daily Post Correspondent CHELSEA striker Nicolas Anelka Nicolas Anelka (born March 14, 1979 in Versailles, France)[1] is a French footballer who plays in the forward position. After winning the 1998-99 PFA Young Player of the Year award and making his name at Arsenal, he has changed clubs several times. has declared that they must beat Liverpool to keep up their fading fading fading skin coloring.

The ex-Anfield hitman is the league's leading scorer with 14 goals but has seen his side's title challenge falter in recent weeks. Saturday's 2-1 win against Stoke stoke n.

And the recent 3-0 collapse at Old Trafford Old Trafford commonly refers to two sporting arenas:
"We're two points off United and Liverpool, the race is very open," Anelka said. "But it is a very hard race. "Up until now we've had bad games against United, Liverpool and Arsenal. It's obvious that we can't continue dropping points against our direct rivals, otherwise we can say goodbye to the title. "On February 1 at Anfield we have to absolutely beat Liverpool." Meanwhile, Anelka's fellow forward Didier Drogba Didier Yves Drogba Tébily (born March 11, 1978 in Abidjan, the Ivory Coast) is a footballer from the Ivory Coast who currently plays for Chelsea FC in the English Premier League. Drogba is the current African Footballer of the Year. is determined to win back his place in the Chelsea first team despite increasing speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge Stamford Bridge could be
The Ivorian striker, axed from coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's last two squads, is expected to return for their FA Cup fourth round tie against Coca-Cola Championship side Ipswich tomorrow. Drogba's future was again under scrutiny yesterday with speculation that he could be offloaded to Manchester City as part of an audacious Chelsea move to land unhappy Brazilian Robinho. Scolari was close to signing the 25-year-old last summer only for the player to join City in a pounds 32.5million deal on the final day of the transfer window. The Londoners are understood to be monitoring Robinho's situation at Eastlands and could be prepared to offer some players in exchange. City are keen on Drogba, but it is unlikely, as has been reported, that a deal could be struck this month. Scolari feels Drogba can still play a massive part in their challenge for silverware this season, even though he left him out of the FA Cup third round replay win over Southend and the subsequent league success over Stoke. Scolari's faith is underlined by Drogba's own intentions to return to action. The 30-year-old feels he is in top form and wants another chance to show he is still one of Europe's leading strikers. "I've not played for the last two matches and I'm in a hurry to return to my best level and be a first-team regular again," he said. "If you look back to last May, I've been out for four to six months and it has been very difficult for me. "But now I feel in top form. I know what I am capable of doing and the real satisfaction for me is that my knee is completely right." CAPTION(S): Carragher and Anelka will come face to face at Anfield next week |
