Benitez plays down bust-up to focus on beating Boro

Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez insists nothing will deflect his focus from helping the squad secure a successful end to a turbulent season.

The Blues head to Middlesbrough tonight for their FA Cup fifth-round clash on the back of a 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Manchester City, which saw the Blues slip to fourth in the table – two points ahead of Arsenal – after Tottenham’s late win at West Ham on Monday night.
