Chelsea Have Too Much Firepower For Manchester United - Deco
The Blues can blow their visitors away on Sunday, according to the Portuguese star...
The Portuguese international thinks that Didier Drogba, in particular, will prove more than a handful for an unsettled United back-four who have looked somewhat brittle in recent games.
"The big difference between us and United is in attack," he said, according to Sky Sports.
"Drogba is enjoying a spectacular moment in his career and is superior to the front-line of United.
"For me, Didi will be the key - the star of the match, for sure."
Chelsea currently lead the Premier League table by two points from United, and the midfielder thinks that a win on Sunday will ultimately be worth more than just the three points on offer to the victors.
"This match has a four-point value, an extra one for the blow to United's morale because they also failed to beat Liverpool," he added.
"If they fail in London they will need to think very much about things in the following days.
"Victories in classic matches like this always have enormous value.
"For Chelsea to begin November with a five-point advantage over United will be sensational."
As for his own form and fitness, Deco couldn't be happier to be at Stamford Bridge at the moment, asserting: "I'm enjoying my best form since arriving from Barcelona. Physically I'm perfect."
