Arsene Wenger rejoiced when Didier Drogba left Chelsea for Shanghai Shenhua in 2012, with the Ivorian striker departing England with a formidable scoring record of 13 goals in 14 games against Arsenal. 'I don’t know how much Chelsea miss him but we don't miss him,' Wenger said of the man who averages a goal every 78 minutes and 20 seconds against his team. 'He did a lot of damage against us in every game.' But he might have celebrated too soon. Didier Drogba has 15 goals in 15 games for Chelsea against Arsenal, averaging one every 78 minutes . Drogba's first goals against came in the 2005 Community Shield, scoring both as Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 . Three weeks later, Drogba scored again against Arsenal, this time securing a 1-0 win in the Premier League .

Now back at Chelsea, Drogba is expected to overcome a knock and return to The Emirates on Sunday with Wenger's disesteemed foe Jose Mourinho, looking to increase his  overall record of 15 goals in 15 games against Arsenal and obliterate the north-London side's fading hope of catching the Stamford Bridge outfit at the summit of the Premier League. Having originally signed for Chelsea in 2004 for a fee of £24million from Marseille, Drogba took time to forge his redoubtable status against Wenger, his first two appearances ending goalless. It was the 2005 Community Shield when he first put Arsenal to the sword, lashing two goals past Jens Lehmann in a 2-1 victory at the Millennium Stadium before scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory in the Premier League three weeks later. In 2007, Drogba overturned the one-goal advantage Arsenal had in the 2007 League Cup final through Theo Walcott with another brace, again in Wales. And Drogba's third double against Arsenal was in similar circumstances on March 23, 2008. Bacary Sagna gave The Gunners the lead before Drogba struck twice in nine minutes at Stamford Bridge. The 2009 FA Cup semi-final allowed Drogba to break Arsenal's hearts again with silverware in sight, this time at Wembley. Like the 2007 League Cup final, Walcott put Arsenal ahead but Florent Malouda equalised before Drogba won the cup tie with a goal in the 84th minute. In the next two encounters between the London sides, Drogba netted a double in each game to lead Chelsea to a 3-0 and 2-0 victory respectively. On October 3 2010, he opened the scoring as Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 at Stamford Bridge which was his last goal against Arsenal in Chelsea colours.

Drogba (left) is a trusted hugely by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who could start him on Sunday . But he took his tally top 15 with yet another late brace, this time for Galatasaray as Drogba led the Turkish side to the Emirates Cup in 2013, serving Wenger a reminder of what he was glad to be missing in the Premier League. But Drogba is synonymous with Mourinho's Chelsea. Wenger has not beaten the Portuguese manager in 12 attempts and with Diego Costa and Loic Remy likely to be unavailable, Mourinho is seemingly faced with no choice but to unleash Drogba to ensure it's an unlucky 13th encounter for the Arsenal manager.
