Watch Chelsea vs Portsmouth Live Online FA Cup Final Football Streaming May 15th 2010
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has warned his players against complacency in Saturday's FA Cup final.
The Premier League champions take on relegated Portsmouth at Wembley, hoping to secure the club's first Double.
But Ancelotti knows his team face a stern test, having witnessed Pompey stun Tottenham in the semi-finals.
"There have been a lot of surprises - Leeds beat Manchester United and Reading beat Liverpool - so we need to pay attention," stressed the Italian.
"On paper we have more quality and possibility to win but we have to play well. It's a great opportunity to win the Double for the first time but if Portsmouth play better they could win."
Chelsea have won 13 and drawn one of their 14 Premier League meetings with the south-coast club and beat them 5-0 at Fratton Park in March, but Ancelotti believes Saturday will be different despite Portsmouth having finished bottom of the league.
"We won and played well but at that time they didn't have a lot of motivation but they will on Saturday and it will be a different game," he said.
"We have to have respect for Portsmouth. They were relegated but they deserve to play in this final after beating Tottenham in the semis. We have to fight against them to win this game.
