Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins insists there's no cliques inside the Blues dressing room.

"We have got such a close-knit bunch of guys so where all this comes from I do not know," said Wilkins.

"Players always have discussions with managers, if you don't have dialogue in any walk of like then you will have a problem.

"Managers nowadays are extremely open-minded to players talking to them. So it really is no problem at all. We are extremely close here. I think some of our performances, both home and away, have displayed that.

"I wasn't privy to the meeting so I don't really know what they were talking about. They might have been discussing the Christmas Party.

"It certainly has not interfered with the running of the club because it is going swimmingly well."
