Antonio Conte: Chelsea league and cup Double 'will be very difficult'

Antonio Conte says Chelsea are setting their sights on achieving an historic Double by winning the Premier League and FA Cup this season, but the coach warned it will be "difficult" to fulfill their ambitions in both competitions.

Goals from Pedro Rodriguez and Diego Costa saw Chelsea book their place in the FA Cup quarterfinals with a 2-0 win over a stubborn Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday, and the Blues will now turn their attentions back to the Premier League, where they enjoy an eight-point lead over nearest rivals Manchester City.

Carlo Ancelotti is the only manager in Chelsea's history to win the Premier League and FA Cup in the same season, but Conte has revealed that he wants to emulate his countryman -- though he believes Wolves' spirited performance provides further evidence of the scale of the challenge.
