Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas: 'We can't give Arsenal hope of putting pressure on us'

Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas intends to squash Arsenal's hope of denting the Blues' Premier League title charge when he faces his former club at the Emirates this weekend.

The West London outfit currently hold a 10-point lead at the top of the table, and Jose Mourinho's side will take home the trophy if they win their next two away games against Arsenal and Leicester City.

Fabregas, who spent eight years playing for the Gunners, is determined to wrap up the title quickly and is aiming for three points against his old side on Sunday.

"It's massive," Fabregas told the club's official website. "We are level on games now, we are 10 points in front and we don't want to give them hope to put pressure on us. We have to put in a good performance because we know the Emirates is always a difficult place to go.

"We just want to win it. The sooner, the better. We want to give satisfaction to the supporters. It's been five years for them without winning the Premier League title - for me, it's been 27 years so I'd love to win it as soon as possible."

Overall, Chelsea have six games left to play this season.
