It's time to raise the pressure, says Petr Cech

Petr Cech believes Chelsea's title rivals could crack under pressure if they beat Blackpool tonight.

Chelsea can close to within nine points of Manchester United at Bloomfield Road and will still have a game in hand, after the leaders lost at Liverpool yesterday.

Goalkeeper Cech said: "I still think we have a chance but we need help from the others teams. We have to keep winning and put the pressure on everyone else and then we will see what happens."

Didier Drogba is expected to start up front alongside Fernando Torres while David Luiz is a doubt due to a hamstring problem.
