Chelsea manager Avram Grant insists he does not feel under any added pressure ahead of the Grand Slam Sunday clash with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues go into the vital clash match with the Gunners hoping to overtake their London rivals in second place in the Premier League.
Chelsea have failed to beat any of the top seven in league action since Grant took over in September and have collected just two points from their four meetings with the top four all season.
But Grant is adamant that, with eight league games remaining in the season, he is not feeling the heat at Stamford Bridge and he is delighted that Chelsea remain in the title race.
Title tilt
"I feel the same pressure all the time not more and not less," Grant told Sky Sports News.
"Every manager that comes to this stage is under pressure because you can win the title. It is a good pressure but not more or less than it was before.
"It is eight games to play and when you come to the end, every week is a big week especially when you play against the teams which are more or less in the same position as you.
"We wanted to come to the position that it would be in our hands and we have worked hard for things since the beginning of my time here.
Happy
"We came to this position so now we need to use this situation.
"I am very happy. We played very good football I the last games. We scored a lot of goals.
"To come to this stage and to play this football is good and we need to continue with this and to take the points."
