John Terry says his Chelsea side must approach Saturday's meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford with no fear and use the momentum gained in recent weeks to take a potentially crucial lead in the title race.
Chelsea travel to Manchester this weekend one point behind the leaders United with six games to play. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be without Wayne Rooney, but Carlo Ancelotti today suggested that Didier Drogba could return to the Chelsea line-up after injury.
"There is so much on the game on Saturday and the way we have played the last couple of games, we have to take that momentum and that same gameplan into this match," said Terry. "We have to approach the game with no fear and we must go into it playing our own game. It is a tough place to go and the way we got beaten there and the way we played there last year was not good enough."
The Chelsea captain said that the experience of last season's visit to Old Trafford – when they were comprehensively beaten 3-0 – would be a motivation. "We go there not only with confidence from the last few games but still hurting from that defeat, and that will spur us on," he said.
