Essien warns Premiership

Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has warned Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd that the Stamford Bridge side are ready to make up for defeat against the Gunners last week, starting with a victory over Blackburn in the Premiership on Sunday.

"We are very bad losers. We hate to lose, we always like to win," Essien told the Daily Star.

"It was tough to lose at Arsenal but it was up to us to forget it, keep ourselves together and come back.

"The next team normally pays for it because, as you saw against Liverpool, we don't like to lose two games in a a row.

"We can bounce back after Sunday. We play every game to win.

"We had one setback against Arsenal and I think we showed against Liverpool how much we hate losing and that we can win something this season."
