Salomon Kalou has warned his Chelsea team-mates that they must win at Liverpool on Sunday if they are going to win the Premier League title (Chelsea 1/2 Outright) this season.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side lead Manchester United by just a single point ahead of their trip to Anfield on Sunday lunchtime (Liverpool 11/4, Chelsea 5/6, draw 13/5 90 Minutes) and anything less than a win could hand the initiative over to the Red Devils, who face Sunderland in the later game.

Therefore Kalou is looking for the Blues to remove any doubts by heaping more misery on Liverpool and securing maximum points to keep the title destiny in their own hands going into the final weekend.

“I think we have to win. There’s two games to go and there’s no other way of going about it,” said the Ivory Coast frontman.

“If you want to keep your chance at your end, you have to win every game.

“I hope United will go to Sunderland and drop points, but you can only focus on your own game.

“If we take the three points against Liverpool, we don’t need to worry about what United will do.

“Anfield will be a difficult journey but we will be very motivated and know that if we win there, everything will be in our hands at home against Wigan.”

Chelsea will be boosted by the absence of Liverpool’s prolific striker Fernando Torres due to injury, but Kalou says they cannot afford to be complacent.

“Liverpool at home are still a strong team, even without Torres,” he said.

“It’s true that if Torres played it would be a plus for them, but I think they are still difficult to play at Anfield because they have that spirit at home and their supporters will push them 200 per cent.

“We have to go there and take control of the game. We need to keep the ball and play our own game and not wait for Liverpool to take the initiative.”
