Antonio Conte has called for calm ahead of Chelsea's crunch Premier League clash at Manchester United on Sunday.
Chelsea hold a seven-point lead ahead of their trip to Old Trafford,
but tempers ran high between Conte and opposite number Jose Mourinho
when the Londoners beat 10-man United in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge
in March.
After chants against his during that game, former Chelsea boss
Mourinho pointedly noted that "Judas is number one", referring to his
three Premier League titles at the club, and Conte wants his players to
remain focused on the task in hand with seven matches remaining.
"The most important thing is on the pitch," Conte said after Chelsea
won 3-1 at Bournemouth to stay on track to win the title in the
Italian's first season in charge.
"For us, it's always important to control our emotion because we are playing and fighting to win the title."
