Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou is targeting a Champions League final against Arsenal due to the club's recent successes against the Gunners.

Arsenal's 3-1 win in December was their first over Chelsea for more than two years, but Kalou believes that triumph does not mark a significant shift.

While Chelsea are on course to reach the Wembley final after winning 2-0 at Copenhagen in the last-16 first leg tie, the Gunners face the unenviable task of defending a 2-1 lead at the Nou Camp against Barcelona.

"I would love an all-English final because we have a great record against the Gunners," Kalou said.

Kalou is backing Chelsea, who have won four Wembley finals since 2006, to become the first London club to lift the Champions League. "If we get to the Champions League final, we will be playing at our lucky stadium, because we have won so many times at Wembley," he said.
