 Drogba scored twice in Sunday's 3-0 win at Arsenal
|
Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins says it is too early to declare the Premier League leaders as certainties for the title.
The Blues, who beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates on Sunday, are five points ahead of Manchester United in second.
Wilkins told BBC Radio 5 live Chelsea need to remain consistent and admitted losing key players to the African Cup of Nations will be a "blow".
"There's so many games to play and so many points to play for that we can't say it's finished," said Wilkins.
Chelsea have won 12 out of 14 league games and beat fellow title challengers Arsenal very comfortably.
Wilkins put the results down to the team's impressive defensive ethos.
"I think as a group, if you look at the way the group is defending right from the front, they're working extremely hard," said the assistant manager.
"It makes it difficult for sides to score against us when everybody is working as hard as that. When it gets through to the back four you've got everybody putting their body on the line with us."

606: DEBATE
There's only one Torres

Striker Didier Drogba scored two goals against Arsenal in what was an impressive individual performance from the Ivorian and Wilkins described the striker's form as "frightening".
"He's strong and he's fit, which is the important thing. Didier is now very fit and playing some wonderful football," he said.
Chelsea will have to cope without Drogba in January when he travels with the Ivory Coast to Angola for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Drogba's compatriot Salomon Kalou, Ghana's Michael Essien and Nigeria's Jon Mikel Obi will also be unavailable to the club because of the tournament.
But Wilkins did not believe the absences would hinder their title bid.
"That's a bit of a blow to us but it's something that we will cope with."
