Back to back 6-0 wins against West Brom and Wigan, has given the champions a big confidence boost. And who would bet against them notching up another win against Stoke on Saturday?
Next up for Chelsea are Wigan Athletic, knowing a win over the northerners will hand them the title.
This evening the Latics played their final home game of the campaign, drawing 2-2 with Hull City to relegate their opponents to the Championship after two years in the top flight.
After a devastating blow to our Title hopes last weekend Carlo Ancelotti will know that anything less than a loss will cost him dearly. He was left stunned after a below par Manchester City were able to destroy a even more below par Chelsea. Goalkeeping at Chelsea Football Club hit an all new low with Hilario’s performance. The FA Cup has opened up more for Chelsea with the elimination of Man City and other ‘Big 4’ members. Main contenders now remain in the form of Tottenham and Aston Villa who recently lost the Carling Cup Final.

In amongst the media headlines surrounding various Chelsea player’s off the field antics you may have noticed that tomorrow night the undisputed tie of the Champions League last 16 takes place as Chelsea visit the San Siro to play Inter Milan.

Chelsea look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League against 16th place Wolves at Molineux at a 3 o clock kick-off on Saturday. Last weekend’s loss to Everton has reduced Chelsea’s lead at the top of the Premier League to a mere point and before they’ve even kicked-off at Molineux, Chelsea could be sitting in second place if Manchester United are victorious against Everton at Goodison Park. However all is not blue at Chelsea as the squad and manager will no doubt be pleased with their clinical second half FA Cup performance against Cardiff to advance Chelsea through to the quarter final stage of that competition.
