Frank Lampard will let Didier Drogba be Chelsea's penalty-taker against Wigan on Sunday, with the aim to wreck rival Wayne Rooney's Golden Boot dream.
Ivory Coast star Drogba said: "To finish above Rooney in the scorers' table would be the cherry on the cake.
"Three years ago, I finished above him and we didn't win the league. There was something missing.
"But if there is a penalty to take, I have already agreed with Lampard that I will take it."
Both Drogba and Manchester United star Rooney are locked on 26 goals heading into the final Premiership weekend.
Drogba has been in sensational scoring form for Carlo Ancelotti's men, as they close in on the title.
His killer strike at Old Trafford last month was the turning point of the campaign.
He added: "I think it's my best season here by far. I have been consistent, despite going to the Africa Cup of Nations for a month and a half in the heat of Angola.
"It was hard going from 35C to minus four! You come home and two days later you have to face Hull. It's not easy. Despite this, I've had no bad patch.
"Can Chelsea lose the title? Nothing is done yet. But it would be crazy to let it go now.
"Only six teams have ever done the Double in England. By doing it, we would enter the history of English football."
