Chelsea's Ancelotti aware that Tottenham will come out firing

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti knows that Tottenham are keen on fourth place and will do everything in their power to take the Blues down tomorrow evening. Ancelotti has his club sitting second on the league table and still with a slight chance of bridging the gap with league leaders Manchester United who sit six points ahead of the reigning champions.

With United travelling to Arsenal on Sunday, the Blues are desperate to win at Stamford Bridge just in case the Gunners can get a positive result over Sir Alex Ferguson's men and also to stave off Spurs who are gunning for fourth.

"They are involved in the fight for fourth place," the Italian said.

"They will try to do everything against us because now they have a gap to close to Man City.

"I think Arsenal will do their best to win," he added.

"They have less chance to fight for the title. But I think Man City behind them is closer.

"If you arrive third, you don't have to play the preliminary of the Champions League.

"We have to do our job and our job is to win against Tottenham.

"It will not be easy because Tottenham is a very good team, very strong. But I think that we want to keep open the Premier League until the last minute.

"Obviously, we have to beat Man United, we have to beat Tottenham. We want to fight until the last minute of this Premier League.''
