Cole issues Chelsea warning

Ashley Cole has warned that Chelsea could soon be back to their best as their big guns are set to return to the firing line.

The defending champions made a stunning start to the season, winning their first six games and scoring 25 goals in the process.

Injuries to key players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard and Michael Essien then hit them hard and the Blues have won just one of their last seven Premier League games.

That is Chelsea's worst run in the league for more than a decade and has seen them slump from top spot to fourth place.

But Carlo Ancelotti's side are expected to be at full strength for the first time in four months as they make the short trip to face title rivals Arsenal on Monday night.
