How to beat Chelsea
Chelsea's defence has been the foundation of their success
Nevin says Chelsea's defence has been key to their success.

"They just haven't had problems defensively. The spine of Petr Cech in goal, John Terry at centre-back and Claude Makelele in front has worked well," he says.

"If Ashley Cole joins, you've got real power from left-back. He'll bomb forward and Makelele will cover - and he's the best in the business at doing that.

"They're so tough to break down because they're not desperate to get men forward. A 1-0 win is plenty for Chelsea, it'll do fine. And I don't think there will be great changes next year."
