Chelsea Have The Best Strikers In The World - Frank Lampard

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard insists that strikers Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are the best in the business.

The former West Ham United player believes that when the two forwards are on song, they are a defender's nightmare.

"Didier is so strong and his all-round game is brilliant, when he plays his best I don't think there is anyone to match him," Lampard said on the club's official website.

"And I want to talk about [Nicolas] Anelka as well, because he is right up there with him. We have the best strikers in the world.

"When you have those men up front who are organised like we have, their partnership is absolutely formidable."

The 31-year-old also gave his thoughts on the recent 3-0 win against Arsenal, and indicated that confidence was key to the victory.

"We came to the Arsenal game with the confidence we had after the result against Wolves [Wolverhampton Wanderers] and the win against Porto," Lampard added.

"It's great when you carry those through to the big games.

"When you are playing well and a lot of big players are fit and playing well then you go to games with a winning belief."

Carlo Ancelotti's charges will now battle Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park for a spot in the League Cup semi-finals.
