For Chelsea it's a chance to make club history and secure the league and cup double for the first time, they can be more prepared to make history.
Salomon Kalou missed an easy chance in the first half, hitting the ball against the crossbar six yards in front of an open goal.
Portsmouth could have gone in front just before Drogba's goal when Kevin-Prince Boateng's weak penalty kick was saved by Petr Cech's legs. Frank Lampard also missed a late penalty kick for Chelsea, with the England midfielder dragging the ball wide.
Within minutes in second half, Drogba struck the post with a curling free kick that this time went into the net beyond the outstretched James.
