London: Gary Cahill has told record-seeking Chelsea to focus on the task in hand on Wednesday — winning at Tottenham. The Blues won for a 13th straight game on Saturday, beating Stoke 4-2, and lead the Premier League by six points from Liverpool.

And after equalling Arsenal's single-season record, Antonio Chelsea can draw level on the Gunners' tally of 14 straight wins with victory at White Hart Lane. Cahill claims Chelsea's record bid is not a topic for discussion among the squad. "It's not been something we've spoken about," Cahill added. "It's not like all week we've been saying 'we want this record, we want this record'. We've just kept going. And I think that's the right mentality to have. Being aware of the record and wanting to achieve them, there's nothing wrong with that. For sure I want to achieve it. Every player wants to be a part of records — I'm not shy about saying that - but it's not something we speak about.

"We just have to keep focused on the job. We're getting this run through hard work and through everyone chipping in with their part in the game. That's the mentality we should have. That shouldn't change," Cahill said.
