Chelsea are top of the league table with eight points separating Antonio Conte’s side and second-placed Manchester City. The team are also in the running for the FA Cup trophy, and only three games separate Chelsea from being crowned FA Cup champions.

Conte has an eye on both trophies, but he’s willing to take it step by step.

He said: “It is very important to be focused on the present,’ he said. ‘Now we are in a good position – we are top of the table and we are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. The most important thing now is the present, to work to give a good future.

“Now it is important to keep the right concentration and continue to work because the league is very difficult. Our target is to continue to try to stay top of the table, but it won’t be easy. And then, in the next round of the FA Cup, we will try to reach the semi-final. I am pleased to stay in both competitions.

“It won’t be easy, because there are strong teams but we have to think about ourselves and go step by step.”
