Chelsea's in-form winger Florent Malouda insists Manchester United should be doing all the worrying as the Blues prepare for their crucial title clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Chelsea sit on top of the EPL by a single point over United. The Blues take on Liverpool in the 6pm (IST) kick-off at Anfield on Sunday followed by United's game at Sunderland at 8:30pm.

"Honestly, I don't care about United," said Malouda. "They are behind us. Why should we look in the mirror and say: 'Oh there they are are?' We're under pressure but we like the pressure. We are still on top of the league, one point in front of them. We have the league in our hands and we have to make it. I think United would like to be in our position and we must never forget that. I would have taken the current position at the start of the season. We don't have to care about what United are doing and who they are playing. We just have to stay focused. The good is that we don't have to think about the other results. If we win our games we will be celebrating after the last one."

Reds eye win
LIVERPOOL manager Rafa Benitez hoped for a strong reaction from his players against Chelsea after their mid-week ouster in the Europa League semi-finals. "We want to win so we will have to play with an offensive mentality," he said.
