Jose Mourinho is targeting victory at Liverpool on Saturday and another triumph over Chelsea's tough fixture list.
The Premier League's unbeaten leaders have been to Manchester City and Manchester United in their first 10 games, and Saturday's trip to Anfield reinforces Mourinho's view that his side have faced a more difficult start than any other team.
Despite that run of games Chelsea travel north with a four-point lead, and Mourinho's aim is to leave Merseyside with three more - just as they managed in April when a 2-0 win effectively ruined Liverpool's title chances.
He said: "We went to City to win and United to win (both games finished 1-1) - we couldn't for different reasons.
"But we go to every match to win. The reality is that before the season starts that in the first 11 matches we have to go away to Man City, United and Liverpool and you know for sure you have the most difficult fixtures of every team.
"In the first 11 matches we play those three and also Arsenal. The fixtures for us were very different. When we leave Anfield we have finished with three of the most difficult stadiums to play all season. The points we are getting, all of them are important."
Mourinho is anticipating an aggressive approach from last season's runners-up, who are already 12 points off the pace this term.
He said: "I expect a game where Liverpool knows if they lose then they are 15 points behind. If they are 15 points in November, obviously it is not over, but it is difficult.
"If they win the match instead of 15 they are nine points behind and nine points behind is different to 15. It is a very good motivation for them. So I expect them to try everything to win, simple."
