The omens are good for a Chelsea side heading into Christmas top of the Premier League tree but manager Jose Mourinho does not want to give title rivals Manchester City any reason to cheer over the festive season.
Having beaten Stoke City
2-0 at the Britannia Stadium on Monday, the London club ensured they
went into a busy fixture schedule leading the table with 42 points from
17 matches.
The last three
times Chelsea have been top on Christmas Day they have gone on to win
the title, but with in-form City hot on their heels three points behind,
Mourinho is taking nothing for granted with testing matches to come.
Sam Allardyce's fourth-placed West Ham United travel to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground on Friday before Mourinho's men head to Southampton on Sunday and then make the short trip across London to face Tottenham Hotspur on New Year's Day.
