Chelsea Desperate To Avoid Arsenal Mistake

Tottenham has already ended the title challenge of one of their London rivals this week, on Saturday it looks to put a dent in the hopes of another as Chelsea visits White Hart Lane.

Carlo Ancelotti‘s side may be four points clear of Manchester United in second place, but the players know they are going to have to be on top of their game to take anything from a Spurs side who outplayed North London neighbours Arsenal on Wednesday.

Tottenham, set on its way by a wonder goal from teenager Danny Rose, won the game 2-1 to record its first Premier League victory over the Gunners since November 1999. The damaging defeat left Arsene Wenger‘s side six points off the pace and contemplating a fifth successive season without a trophy.

While it is true that the title is now Chelsea‘s to lose, this match and the other remaining away game at Liverpool will offer the toughest of tests.

Ancelotti, though, refuses to look beyond the task of taking points from Tottenham. The Chelsea manager told the club‘s official website: ”We don‘t want to look to the other teams, now the Premier League is in our hands and we have to stay calm, play game by game and we are not interested in the other teams.”
