Jan 12 - Coach Liam Rosenior believes Chelsea already have the resources to deliver wins, as they prepare to host Arsenal in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday, in his second game in charge.

Rosenior was named Chelsea coach on Tuesday, and their five-game winless run ended with a 5-1 FA Cup victory at Charlton on Saturday. The game against Arsenal will be his first as coach against a fellow Premier League side.

Id love to be here six years or longer. But to do that, you need to start winning. So my focus is that I have ideas of how the team should look like in one or two years, Rosenior told reporters on Monday.

But I already have resources here to win. The lads trained very, very well today. We will make a decision on the team in the coming days and go and attack the game.

The 41-year-old said Chelsea have been preparing for the clash with Arsenal since the moment he took over.

Weve been working tactically on Arsenal from the moment I came into the club. Watched all of their games, analysed every aspect of their game, including set plays, at which theyre very good at, he added.
