Chelsea captain John Terry is refusing to read too much into being the top of the table at Christmas after the Blues secured that position with a 2-0 win at Stoke.

The skipper opened the scoring early on and a second from Cesc Fabregas sealed the win as Chelsea moved three points clear of closest rivals Manchester City ahead of the Boxing Day programme.
The Blues have gone on to win the title the three times they have been top of the Premier League on December 25 but Terry is reluctant to focus too much on history.
"You look at City, they've kind of come from nowhere really. Man United are back in the fold as well," he told Sky Sports 1.
"With the good teams around us, they can put a run of five or seven games together and all of a sudden they're back in it.
"It was an important win for us to secure that top spot for Christmas but it's a long way to go.
"We've got a tough game at home against West Ham (on Boxing Day) which was difficult last year
"It's game by game at the moment."
