Drogba backs Cech to lead Arsenal to title

Arsenal can win the Premier League title now that the club has Petr Cech in the side, according to former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Didier Drogba has tipped former Chelsea teammate Petr Cech to inspire Arsenal to the Premier League title this season.

The veteran striker collected his fourth winners' medal in England's top flight last season alongside Cech, before he departed for the Montreal Impact and the Czech Republic international was signed by Arsene Wenger.

Drogba accepts it will be difficult for Chelsea to defend its crown following an abysmal start to the season, but he has backed Cech to make the difference as Arsenal seeks a first title since 2004.
