Clarke warns Chelsea to seize chance

CHELSEA’S assistant manager Steve Clarke has warned the players to keep up the pressure on wobbling Arsenal by going top of the Premiership today.

With the topic of sacked striker Adrian Mutu's seven-month suspension for drug-taking off limits as far as the managerial side of the club were concerned, it was left to Clarke to put the spotlight on the race for the title instead.

Chelsea, currently level on points with their London rivals, have the chance to get their noses in front by a clear margin for a few hours.
