CHELSA SETBACKS
Chelsea recently suffered a few setbacks as they lost against Manchester City in the FA Cup and in the Premier League had to settle with a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich but despite having dropped some points, they remain at the top of the league however Demba Ba stated that Chelsea cannot afford on getting anything else than victories if they want to continue charging for the Premier League title.
Jose Mourinho is having a feud with Arsene Wenger and some coaches are suggesting that the war of words involving both the boss of Arsenal and Chelsea is affecting the squad of Jose Mourinho but according to David Luiz, his teammates and himself are unconcerned about anything else that happens outside of the club as the job of the players is to represent their club by playing matches and nothing else.
“We keep working hard every day for our job. Of course, I respect everyone, other teams, but we need to do our job. That’s it. We cannot listen to everyone, because if you listen to another coach, Chelsea don’t have just one coach, Chelsea have 10, 20, 100 coaches… everyone wants to be part of our club. And that’s natural.” David Luiz said.
The Brazilian defender of Chelsea also spoke about the upcoming World Cup as he admitted that it is his dream to perform and represent his country at such a big stage.
“It’s my dream come true if I can go to the World Cup. I was young and I saw two, three days ago pictures of me watching TV in a Brazil shirt. Now I can be inside the screen and make the world happy with my football. It’s a great opportunity for our generation, because we can win and can make history.” Luiz added.

Fernando Torres Online video Score: five / five
TORRES IS FEARED
Fernando Torres is regarded as one of the biggest signings in the history of British football after the £ 50 million striker has scored roughly around one goal per three matches for Chelsea. He was one of the most feared strikers during his time at Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, but he has struggled for form has since making the move to Stamford Bridge. Despite this, Torres is continuously supported by Chelsea fans, who are taken to the hard-working nature of the Spaniard. Jose Mourinho has said that it is incredible that fans support the player, who has not lived up to the expectations.
He has recalled the case of Mateja Kezman, who was a similar flop during his first spell at the club. Kezman never fell out with the fans despite scoring few goals than his talent might have otherwise suggested. Torres has been showing signs of form in recent weeks after scoring in back-to-back matches. His away goals at Southampton and Hull have put him in the limelight once again. Mourinho has stated that it is happy to see the player scoring once again, but he expects bigger things to come from the Spaniard in the future.
The striker finished as the club’s top scorer last season.
“Fernando is enjoying his football more than the last couple of years. The goals are coming and he is doing what we want him to do: press defenders, hold the ball, wait for support, get behind defenders and he scored. It is important for him but more important for us. Chelsea fans are like this. I remember in 2004 when we had Mateja Kezman and he scored his first [league] goal in December, but every time playing at Stamford Bridge people were supporting him,” said Mourinho.
Torres has 4 in 16 league outings this season.

EXCITED
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has said that he is very much looking forward to the Premier league encounter against Arsenal since it gives the club a great opportunity to go top of the table. Chelsea will be able to leapfrog Arsenal with a win over the gunners. Torres, who has scored against Arsenal in the past, says that Chelsea go to the match at the Emirates stadium with a view to get all three points. This is also the opinion of midfielder Juan Mata, who continues to be on the fringes of the Chelsea first team this season.
Torres has failed to score on a regular basis this campaign, but he has worked extremely hard for the club. He is expected to start ahead of the likes of Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba. This is not the first time Chelsea will be making the trip to the Emirates stadium. They managed a convincing 2-0 win over the gunners win the two clubs met earlier in the season. It was in the League Cup – a competition in which Wenger usually fields inexperienced players. Arsenal are at their full strength after the return of players like Podolski and Walcott from injury.
A win will be morale boosting former Chelsea team, who will face Liverpool at home just before New Year’s Day.
“We know how important it is for us. It’s a chance to overtake them in the table and we know how important that is for the fans. We’re playing Arsenal, and it’s a huge game for both sets of fans. We’ve beaten them once this season in the Capital One Cup at the Emirates, so we know what we need to do to win there. We just have to ensure we prepare for the game the best we can, and I’m sure we can go and do it,” said Torres.

TORRES ESCAPES BAN
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres recently escaped a longer ban from the English FA after slapping Tottenham striker Jan Vertonghen in face. The striker was also given a second yellow card, which resulted in his ban for the match against Norwich. However, there is a danger of Torres missing additional three matches because referee Mike Dean did not punish him for the slapping incident. Torres was booked at that time, but it was for a foul on Vertonghen. Vertonghen was later found guilty of playacting in order to get Torres his second yellow card in the 80th minute.
After the match, Chelsea boss Mourinho said that it was in disgrace that players like Vertonghen are allowed to stay on the pitch when Torres gets sent off for not even touching the player. Mourinho did, however, accept that there was a danger of Torres missing the next four matches due to a suspension. The FA did not choose to furnish Torres for this incident, which has infuriated Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas. He has called the decision as a disgrace.
This was one of the best matches for Fernando Torres in a long time, but he was unable to last for the full 90 minutes. Mourinho consoled him while Torres was making the long walk back to the dressing room.
“I think the FA has made a decision almost a joke. It looks incredible. How can you see the images, pretty clear, and come out without punishment, on something [which] overtakes all professional behaviour? I think the decision is a disgrace. If the committee can’t solve such clear images I don’t think it sets out a good first example. I think the FA has lost all opportunity to put some sense into the images everybody saw,” said Villas-Boas.
Tottenham have made a great start to the Premier league season.
