“[The current side has] different strengths. Different qualities. But is still as strong as the previous ones,” said Drogba.
“I think Chelsea will always be at this level because of what the players before us [the current side] created.
"The habit of winning trophies, winning big games and being in the last four and the finals.
"This is a good habit.
"Even when we stop I think Chelsea will continue this because this is a kind of legacy.”
Unbeaten so far this season and already five points clear at the top of the table, Drogba and Chelsea visit Old Trafford on Sunday to face Manchester United. The match kicks off at 18:00.
