Fab only focussed on Blues

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has urged his team-mates to put Saturday’s shock loss to Sunderland behind them and instead focus on beating EPL leaders Chelsea in Sunday’s London derby. The Gunners currently trail the Blues by eight points but a win at the Emirates will see them right back in contention for league honours. "The Chelsea game is vital," stressed Fabregas on Monday. "We have to win and are ready for it. They're a great team, one of best in Europe. I respect them, they're great players but I know what we can do. If we play well and are at our best, we can beat them and, with a game in hand, we can still be there." Arsenal play Belgian team Standard Liege in the Champions League on Tuesday.
