London: Chelsea manager Antonio Conte warned his players not to succumb to complacency ahead the EPL leaders' home game against Arsenal today.
Chelsea are nine points clear of second-place Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, who trail their north London rivals on goal difference, and odds-on favourites for the title. But Conte, who won eight Serie A titles with Juventus &mdash; five as a player and three as a coach &mdash; says there is still a long way to go. &ldquo;Anything can happen. It's important to keep the antenna very high,&rdquo; he told his pre-match press conference at Chelsea's training base in Cobham yesterday.
&ldquo;If someone thinks that the league is finished, I'm not so sure. In the past I fight to win the title and I know we must pay great attention. There are 15 games to play and there are a lot of great teams behind us.&rdquo;
Chelsea lost 3-0 at Arsenal in late September, a game that saw Conte switch to a 3-4-3 formation, which prompted a run of 13 successive wins. They have dropped points only twice in 17 league games since the defeat at the Emirates Stadium, losing 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur last month and drawing 1-1 at Liverpool on Tuesday. But Conte says he has kept the loss at Arsenal in his thoughts.
&ldquo;This defeat seems far (away), but it's important to remember the defeat against Arsenal. It was a bad defeat, 3-0 after the first half. And in my mind, it's present, it's always present, this defeat. I hope also in the mind of my players. I think it's important to remember the first game against Arsenal. A lot of things changed now. We want to have a good game tomorrow.&rdquo;
