Ranieri challenges his players to avoid slip-ups

CLAUDIO RANIERI has challenged his new-look Chelsea to prove today that they can avoid the type of banana skin upon which the club have slipped up on so many previous occasions.

Chelsea travel to Wolves for a lunchtime kick-off, with most fans expecting three points to be taken as read against a newly-promoted side who have so far struggled to adapt to Premiership life.

However, Chelsea have been undermined by over-confidence in such games in the past and have failed to raise their games sufficiently when put under physical pressure.
