Carlo Ancelotti says Chelsea will turn their back on a goal feast to ensure they earn three points and win the title.
A Chelsea win over Wigan Athletic at Stamford Bridge on Sunday will deliver the crown in Ancelotti's debut season at the club and set them up for a league and FA Cup double.
Chelsea defeated Stoke City 7-0 in their last home match and have smashed 95 goals so far this season, but Ancelotti said: "It's our aim to win. We did a fantastic job but we've still got one game to go. We have to do our best, have the same behaviour in the last game."
He added: "Until now, we've deserved to stay at the top of the list. It would be a
tragedy if we lost the last game after 10 months of a good, fantastic job. Every day. It would be a tragedy, a disaster."

The Italian has bitter memories of the last time his side met Wigan as they were beaten 3-1 at the DW Stadium in September. The nature of the defeat will ensure Ancelotti sends out his players taking nothing for granted on Sunday.
"Wigan are a good team and have a lot of skill up front. They are quick and created a lot of difficulties against us. I remember that well," he observed.
"We have to pay attention because nothing is decided. If you don't prepare this game well before, if there are problems for us during the game we will not be able to resolve them. We have to be ready.
"Everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to win on Sunday because this club has not won the title for some time. Now we are very close and everyone, I'm sure, will do his best to win this title. We just have to win. We have to score one more goal than Wigan. We're not interested in the other records. We want to win and be champions. That's all.
"We have played with continuity. We didn't fall off in the very important games, beating the other members of the 'top four' in our six games. For that reason, I believe that we deserve to stay top of the list." by premierleague
