Former France and Chelsea star of Ghanaian descent Marcel Desailly has cautioned leaders Chelsea against complacency as the English Premier League nears the homestretch.

“I'm very pleased [with Chelsea],” Desailly said live on Sky Sports News HQ.

“When you look at last season where it was very difficult with Mourinho in charge, a whole lot of controversy and the tactics [was] not working.

“This year, you change it and have three new players: [N'Golo] Kante, [Marcos] Alonso and [Victor] Moses and you just change a little bit of the tactics, it’s just an amazing season for Chelsea.

“We’ll see them in the Champions League again, it’s just that they have to finish correctly. The FA Cup is there against Tottenham, there are many important games such as Manchester United this weekend, so you have to be careful.

“These two weeks are the key moments and games for Chelsea but they will make it. There's no reason why the players should shake in front of these various events.”
