Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Liverpool hold the key to their Premier League title aspirations this season.
The Blues regained the Premier League lead after they annihilated Stoke City 7-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, setting up a showdown with Liverpool at Anfield that will likely be the title decider.
Chelsea will play Wigan Athletic in their 38th and final Premier League game of the season so a win over the Reds would be a big step towards their first title since the 2005-06 season.
With his side one point ahead of Manchester United with two games remaining, Ancelotti knows how important his team’s visit to Anfield will prove to be.
“Now, the most important game is Liverpool,” Ancelotti told the Daily Mail.
“We have a week to prepare and we’ll do our best. I hope we play like we played on Sunday. It will be difficult, Liverpool are a fantastic team, still going for fourth place.
“We are going for first and it is ours to lose.
“To have the title in our hands is a good thing. I think United are able to win their two games against Sunderland and Stoke. Our aim is to win two games.
“If we do that, we are champions.”
