Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is confident the club's lack of strike-power won't be a problem this season, provided everyone chips in with a goal or two.

Having parted ways with strikers Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Romelu Lukaka, Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge are the only recognised hitmen left at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues moved swiftly in the off-season to secure the services of promising talents Eden Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin, but the trio are all midfielders.
Di Matteo, however, believes that with the support from midfield, Torres and Sturridge will not have to shoulder the scoring duties alone.
"I am happy with what we have now," the Italian tactician said ahead of his side's Premier League opener at Wigan on Sunday.
"I said that in certain areas we are a little bit light but we have signed some very good players and I'm sure they will score goals for us."
Di Matteo added: "We've got two very good strikers who can score goals and I'm sure they will.
"Fernando has started the season very well, scoring last weekend. And we need the other players to chip in - Juan Mata, Oscar, Eden Hazard.
"Frank Lampard always scores goals, Ramires at the end of last season scored goals. So I think we need to diversify it between the team.
"We have signed some very good goalscoring midfield players and they will have to share."
