Joe Cole says Chelsea are ready to carry out their Premier League title 'onslaught' after previously 'lurking in the shadows'.

Avram Grant's Blues have demonstrated impressive form in recent weeks, winning eight of their last 10 league games.

They now find themselves three points behind second place Arsenal and leaders Manchester United, with a game in hand over The Gunners.

Chelsea travel to Tottenham on Wednesday evening, before hosting Arsenal on Sunday - a clash that can be seen live on Sky Sports 1.

And Cole has warned Chelsea's title rivals that his team-mates are ready to fight tooth and nail in their bid to claim Premier League glory.

Lurking

"We're happy in the shadows, lurking there," said Cole.

"Now we're ready to build some good form and go on the onslaught. This is a great time for Chelsea.

"It is very tight at the top and the race is wide open. So we need to stay focused because this is the time when you can't afford to throw anything away.

"No-one on the planet knows who is going to win the league at the moment. It's just a case of making sure we keep performing.

"But I think we're hitting form at just the right time and, hopefully, this is the start of bigger and better things for Chelsea."
