The Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has  admitted that he loves playing against  Arsenal, and it’s not just because he  always scores when he plays them, It’s because they have lots of French  players! Drogba has scored an amazing twelve  goals against the Gunners in the last  six years, and the Ivorian always seems to be unstoppable when it comes to  important games. “I love playing big games and I love  playing against Arsenal, â€

Written by  Jeffrey  on October 1 , 2010  –  4 :00 Arsene Wenger’s injury update  before Chelsea: Fabregas,  Vermaelen, Diaby The countdown for the big game between  Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge has  already started, a game which could either  see the Gunners close the gap at the top or  the Blues take an important seven point lead. Speaking on Thursday, manager Arsene  Wenger revealed injuries is still a concern as  he explained that captain Cesc Fabregas is  only 50 :50  of featuring in the game with a  fitness test to be carried out on Saturday  morning to properly assess the recovery of  the 23- year old midfielder. In the defensive department, goalkeeper  Manuel Almunia is yet to resume training  after the shoulder injury he suffered last week against West Bromwich Albion with defender  Thomas Vermaelen ruled out after not  recovering from an Achilles injury he suffered  while on international duty with Belgium. French midfielder Abou Diaby is also a doubt  although he will make the squad whilst long- term absentees Nicklas Bendtner and Aaron  Ramsey are progressing well with the striker  to finally make his comeback in the squad  after the International break.

Diaby says Chelsea could
not guarantee him first-
team football

Abou Diaby has revealed he
turned down Chelsea to join
Arsenal earlier in his career.
The French midfielder was a
target for several big clubs after
impressing in Ligue 1 with
Auxerre, and claims he held talks
with then Chelsea boss José
Mourinho.
However, Diaby says Mourinho
could not guarantee him first-
team opportunities, whereas
Arsène Wenger was keen to sign
Diaby as a replacement for
Patrick Vieira.
Diaby explained: "Did Chelsea try
to sign me in 2005? Yes, but it
was very complex.
"I visited the facilities but when I
was there I had a chat with
Lassana Diarra and he told me:
'Abou, I have not played for
three months'. That made me
hesitate.
"I even had a chat with José
Mourinho. He was very frank
and told me: 'I have a big team,
with big players and I can't
guarantee you anything, but we
do want you'.
"Meanwhile, Arsène Wenger told
me that he was looking for a
midfielder to replace Vieira, that I
had the same profile and that I
would play."
Diaby says he could not turn the
opportunity down, and the
strong French contingent at
Highbury was another decisive
factor in making his move.
He said: "At that time, Arsenal
had the French connection;
Robért Píres and Thierry Henry
were there, and that makes you
dream.
"There were choices to make and
Arsenal wanted me. They
seemed exciting to me."
