London: Cesc Fabregas has downplayed the potential impact of Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham on the Premier League title race.
Chelsea beat Spurs 4-2 at Wembley on Saturday, but Fabregas is wary of Mauricio Pochettino’s men, who sit four points behind with six games to play.

‘(We have) six games where every single one of them we need three points, because I don’t believe Spurs will drop too many,’ Fabregas said.
Not playing in the Champions League has helped Chelsea. ‘It’s the first time Chelsea have not been in Europe for a very long time,’ Fabregas said. ‘Maybe it has been a little bit of an advantage because we didn’t have to rotate as much,’ he added.
