Chelsea’s interim manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 to be given a rather tough opposition from Newcastle United, as both the teams look to face each other in the Premier League.
The Blues are going into their upcoming game, being well aware of the fact that they need to pick up a win, or they could see their chances of making the top four fade away.
However, at the same time, Newcastle will also be looking to pick up three points from their upcoming game, given the fact that they went on to lose to Wigan Athletic by four goals to nil in their last outing.
Di Matteo has admitted that he doesn’t want to take any chances with the Chelsea squad and their qualification for the Champions League, which is why he sees a top four finish to be the minimal requirements for the team.
When talking about the upcoming game, the Blues interim manager went on to state: “Every game is a must-win. We have to try our best, they have been in good form, on a very impressive run and it will be a tough game.”

“They have a very good squad, quality individuals, good goalscorers, so I'm not very surprised, they've done very well this season.”
The manager then went on to talk about some of the star players at the club and admitted that when the Newcastle players start ticking, they can go on and beat just about anyone.

“Papa Cisse is a very good player, he's had a big impact, both at Newcastle and in the Premier League. He's not the only one, though – they have Ben Arfa, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812, Cabaye, Tiote, a very strong team.”

“We all have an equal chance, the same amount of games to play, it will be difficult because at the end of season you play against teams who are fighting against relegation, so it's tough.”
Chelsea will be looking to go all out in their upcoming game, but at the same time, the team will be looking to conserve some of its players for the upcoming FA Cup final, against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
