Keep hearing this but I'm not sure it is wholly correct. Clearly challenging for the title brings pressure however I think there is more pressure on that lot than us.
We undoubtedly have a difficult run in compared to theirs'; that leads to expectation on their part. They also know they cannot afford a single blip (just as we can't of course) which is more pressure again. Some of the teams they play are scrapping for their lives and should make it difficult to play against - more pressure.
Finally, if (and I appreciate it's a big if) we beat Chelsea and Arsenal I feel sure that will send a huge message to them - more pressure.
They may be the bookies' favourites at the moment but there is a long way to go and the road is full of opportunity. I don't think pressure us telling in the players just now, I think it is more the fans who are going under.
Obviously, we'll see what happens tonight but I just know we can do this.
Sorry for the ramble.
