Keegan ignores Chelsea

KEVIN KEEGAN believes teams preparing to face Chelsea have to ignore the opposition, or risk being bamboozled by Claudio Ranieri’s player permutations.

Manchester City gave the side funded by Roman Abramovich a run for their money at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, only succumbing to a 1-0 defeat when Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink bundled home a bizarre goal.

Keegan prepared his team for the fixture by paying no attention to the title-chasing Londoners, for fear of becoming bogged down trying to work out which of Ranieri's 30 first-team players would make the starting XI.
