Carlo Ancelotti in his press conference yesterday was keen to get the message across, Chelsea will not give up on our slim title hopes until it becomes impossible and we need to make sure we win our games. United travel to the Emirates on Sunday in a crunch game with Arsenal but Carlo was keen to stress that we must beat Tottenham on Saturday evening no matter what.
He said:
Obviously we have to beat Man United, we have to beat Tottenham, but our aim is this. Maybe Man United can win the title but we have to fight until the last minute of this Premier League. We have to play our game there but before, obviously, focus on Tottenham game."
It will be important for us and good motivation to play before them to put more pressure on Manchester United and their game on Sunday. It could be good to win and stay closer to them.
I know that Manchester United has experience and tradition and history to manage that pressure but for us it could be good. I remember when losing against Manchester United at the end of the first half [in the league game at Stamford Bridge] the gap was 18 points, To be three [points] behind would be fantastic."
He is right, it's all we can do now as it out of our hands. I think a month ago we would have been confident of Arsenal getting a result against United but their form has dipped in recent weeks.
If we beat Spurs we go three points behind United and puts that little bit of pressure on them to get a result. We must beat Spurs to have any hope and as Carlo says, that's our focus for the time being.
