"We have some really good professionals here who are fighting for a place.

"Everyone is training well and watching their backs. That is the way it should be at a big club like this."

"For some teams, having so many fixtures at one time is a good thing, for others it is bad," he said.

"It is difficult being at the top, so we have to try to put some pressure on Chelsea.

"We are hoping they slip up somewhere along the line and, if they do, our objective is to be right there on their heels."
