Desailly tips Chelsea

Thursday 15 December, 2005

Marcel Desailly believes that Chelsea will win the Premiership title if they beat Arsenal on Sunday.

The Gunners have struggled to keep up with their London rivals this term due to a terrible record away from home.

Fortunately for Arsène Wenger’s side, they will be welcoming the Blues to Highbury at the weekend for the must-win clash.

Even Wenger’s nemesis Sir Alex Ferguson wants Arsenal to come out on top, but former Chelsea defender Desailly thinks the title race will be over if the Gunners aren’t successful.

“If I was a player I would say ‘No, we're not sure, we have to respect, we'll see.’ But I'm a supporter now and I tell you if Chelsea win that one, it's finished,” he said.
