Desailly backs Blues

FORMER Chelsea centre-half Marcel Desailly is convinced Jose Mourinho’s side will wrap up the title should they beat London rivals Arsenal at Highbury on Sunday.

Desailly believes one more defeat for Arsene Wenger’s side will effectively rule them out of the title race and leave Chelsea set to win the Barclays Premiership crown for the second successive season.

“If I was a player I would say ‘no we’re not sure, we have to respect, we’ll see’, but I’m a supporter now and I tell you if Chelsea win that one, it’s finished,” said Desailly.
