The Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti is intent on consigning Arsenal to the also-rans of the Premiership for this season, by creating an unassailable 11-point lead over the Gunners in the next week.
If Chelsea win their game in hand, against Hull City this evening, and then take all three points from Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Ancelotti then reckons it will be a straight fight between his team and Man Utd for the title.
“It is a big gap,” Ancelotti said. “If we win the game, we have the possibility to win against them on Sunday. If this happens then Arsenal has to run for third place.”
“We are playing really well, there is confidence in our play and I’m happy with this because now is a very important part of the season,”
“We will soon be starting the Champions League again, so it is important to stay top of the league.”
Arsenal have now gone three games without a win, and will face a Chelsea side that welcomes back Drogba, Kalou and Essien from the African Nations Cup.
Chelsea are also aiming for their sixth win in a row tonight and are unbeaten since the 5th Dec in any competition. They also have a home record of 11 wins and just one draw in the Premiership.
