Chelsea boss Conte: We can handle pressure here

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists they can keep their title push on track.

With poor form, injuries, illness and a tough League game on Tuesday at home to Southampton, the pressure is on Conte to ensure a stumble does not become full-blown choke.

“But the pressure is normal," he said. “The pressure is normal in our job. When you arrive at the end of the season you want to be in a good position to reach a good target, or a fantastic target.

“I prefer to have this pressure instead of fighting for sixth, seventh, eighth place and to have this pressure."
