Deco is ready to end Arsenal Football Club’s bid for the Premier League title.

The Gunners travel to Chelsea on Sunday for a clash they simply must win to stay in the race, but Stamford Bridge’s Portuguese international has sent them a chilling warning.

“It is certain that defeat for Arsenal will eliminate them as a rival for the title,” Deco said in The Sun. “If they are nine points behind us it's not just a matter of that distance but the question of morale.

"If we beat them they will have to think about two defeats against us and that will be a very negative situation for them. So this match is like a final for them and this extra pressure is a positive for us."
