Gary Cahill expects "big test" against Arsenal

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill admits that the league leaders will face a "big test" when they travel to Arsenal.

Gary Cahill has admitted that Chelsea will face a "big test" in their Premier League match against Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend.

The league leaders hold a 10-point lead over the second-placed Gunners, and know that victory on Sunday will leave them just one win from claiming the title.

The defender told the club's website: "We've worked so hard to get into the position we're in now and we know if we win these next two matches we'll be champions.

"In a way, the pressure is still on us because we have to keep winning in order to get over the line. We've been saying that for the last few weeks and, thankfully, in the last few weeks we've managed to do that.

"We're in a great position as we go into Arsenal away, which is always a massive game, always a big test and always a great atmosphere. If we come through Sunday's game we'll be in an even stronger position but it's a hard place to go and get three points."

Chelsea have won their last four in the league, and are unbeaten in 12.
