Luiz Felipe Scolari has reminded his Chelsea players that winning the Premier League is the priority and not a place in the record books. The Blues can surpass Tottenham's tally of 10 successive away victories, a statistic which was set in 1960, if they defeat Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday.
"I don't think about this," said Scolari when asked about setting a new on-the-road record. "I only think about the three points we lost at home to Arsenal. We need to recover these points.
"We try to win another game and keep in touch with the other clubs. That is important, not the record or winning seven or eight games away. The points are more important than the record.
"For me, I feel the players do not think about records. They think about first position at the end of the season, not more than this.
"If we win 20 away and lose 10 at home, OK, it is a record but we need to arrive at the main objective."
Scolari has held a meeting with his squad over the Blues poor home record.
"We discussed with the players about how many points we have lost at home. It is not good," he added.
"But if we lost 40 points and we win the league it is not a problem for me. We need to win the league, this is the problem."
