Maurizio Sarri: "My feeling is that we are not a very solid team in the defensive phase. We can improve and that's what I feel in training. The title challengers? At the moment I can answer Manchester City or Liverpool. We need another step I think to be at the same level. I think so, but I hope not. It's very difficult. The gap last season was 30 points so I think to go above 30 points in one season is very, very difficult. I think we must improve."
Neil Warnock: "The top sides always have a lot of possession so we're going to be under the cosh for a long time, but we've got to find a remedy. We've earned the right to play against teams like Chelsea. It'll be interesting to see how we cope at a packed Stamford Bridge. It's one where we've got to get the best out of what we've got. I don't want to go there and not have a shot on target, but we've got to have players at their best abilities to give them a game."
