Yesterday, Chelsea emphasized their Premier League superiority this season with a 3-0 demolition of Arsenal, and Drogba once again led the way. The Ivorian scored the opener in the 41st with a beautifully angled redirection, before Thomas Vermaelen ended the half with an own goal, producing an odd and unfortunate carbon copy of Drogba's strike. A wonderful Drogba free-kick sealed the game, as Chelsea won by 3 at the Emirates for a second straight season.
Chelsea have now won all 4 of their games thus far against Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham, scoring 9 times on their main title rivals without conceding a single goal. If they cope well with losing players to January's African Cup of Nations, something will have to change dramatically for Chelsea to lose out on the title.

Video of the Mid-Week: Drogba is an immovable object
Kun Aguero's fantastic goals took most of the plaudits in the 2-2 draw between Atletico and Chelsea, but Drogba showed with this goal why Chelsea is so dependent on his form. Bulling through three Atletico defenders, Drogba looked like an unstoppable force as he persisted to score his second goal.
Chelsea have a top-of-the-table clash with Manchester United this Sunday, and if this kind of form is any indication, Chelsea must be considered the favorites in the match, as well as for the title.

Video of the Week - Drogba saves Chelsea
This week, Drogba scored dramatically in injury time, saving Chelsea from an embarrassing draw with Hull.
Drogba has looked unstoppable in preseason, and judging from this precise shot from a tight angle, he's not going to stop anytime soon. Chelsea fans should hope that he isn't the only one to step up though, since these two teams are likely to finish at exact opposite ends of the table, and 1-1 would not have been a great way to start the season.
