AVB warns of the Kean edge

UNDER-PRESSURE boss Andre Villas-Boas retains belief about his Chelsea project as he bids to prevent his side’s recent slump becoming a full-blown crisis.

The Blues have not lost three Premier League games in a row since 1999 and failure to win today could see them drop out of the top four.

Chelsea have had problems with their own fans in recent days after a successful revolt against Roman Abramovich’s plans to buy the freehold of Stamford Bridge and the disgraceful taunting of Anton Ferdinand by some fans during Wednesday night’s Champions League game at Genk.
