Avram hungry for the title

Chelsea boss Avram Grant was delighted with the way his tactical decisions turned the game against Arsenal; then admitted he was hungry for the Premiership title as the club moved within five points of Manchester United at the top.

"When you make a substitution I do not think any manager believes it will succeed every time.

"We wanted to be able to play in two systems, and I think this was the time to change.

"We had chances but did not score, so we wanted to put more pressure on the defence.

"I did not hear the crowd. I am concentrating on what I need to do and am very confident in what I am going to do, because I know the team and how they are."
