Cech wants Arsenal win

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes that his team can make an important step to winning back the Premiership - starting with a win at the weekend against Arsenal at the Emirates.

"It is a time of year when there are so many difficult games in such a short space of time," he said.

"The first year I came to Chelsea I remember going into the Christmas period five points behind Arsenal - but then we got a good 2-2 draw at Highbury.

"By the time Christmas matches were completed, we were five points ahead of them.

Cech also believes that Chelsea have been unfortunate after several key players picked up injuries.

"We have also had to cope without big players," said Cech.

"John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard have all been missing for small spells. Now Drogba is out but we are still winning points.

"Arsenal have shown they are a good side, but I think we are catching them up. We are only three points behind now and unbeaten in 16 games."
