Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech today stepped up the pressure on title rivals Arsenal and Manchester United by insisting the trophy will head to Stamford Bridge if either side make one more mistake this week.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side climbed four points clear of United at the top of the table with a 1-0 win over Bolton, while they also have a superior goal difference to that of the other two clubs.

Their next game is against Tottenham on Saturday evening, by which time Arsenal and Manchester United will have had the chance to close the gap.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is expected to make an early recovery from a calf injury he sustained several weeks back in time to contribute to the Londoners’ Premier League title run, according to The Mirror, but we wouldn’t put a sports bet on it!

The Czech international has not featured since limping off in Chelsea’s 2-1 Champions League defeat to Inter in Italy last month.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes the strikers at the club’s disposal mean that Carlo Ancelotti’s side are a threat to any defence, domestically or on the continent.

“We have a front two that will worry everyone in the Premier League and in Europe,” Cech told the club’s official website.

“One is the former best scorer in the league and the other is last season’s top scorer and if you count the goals together, it is a great striking force.

“The season is long and we will need everyone to score goals,” he continued. “But if they score in every game, it will be great for us.”

Petr Cech is aiming for Champions League glory with Chelsea this year after repeated narrow exits in the previous years. Since Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003, the Stamford Bridge outfit has won three English Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two Football League Cups and two FA Community Shields.

Petr Cech is hoping it will be third time lucky with Carlo Ancelotti – who has already brought an air of calmness to Chelsea.

The keeper was one of the stars of the Jose Mourinho period, but has seen the club go into decline under the two permanent bosses Avram Grant and Luiz Felipe Scolari in charge since the Portuguese coach left two years ago.

He said: ‘I am excited by the prospects for the new season. We have a large squad with lots of quality. We played really well in pre-season, which was good for the confidence of the team.
