Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda says missing out on the Premier League title on Sunday would be the biggest blow of his career.[LNB] But the 29-year-old Frenchman, who has just been voted Blues' player of the year by his team-mates, is confident Carlo Ancelotti's side will not slip up at home to Wigan.[LNB]"Nobody here even thinks about anything other than a victory. To fail would be a disaster," Malouda said in the Daily Mirror.[LNB]"For me, it would be the worst blow in my career, but with our fans at Stamford Bridge behind us we believe that's impossible.[LNB]"If you analyse the numbers and statistics in our season, then Chelsea deserve to be champions and yet we know we must still win on Sunday to confirm our achievement.[LNB]"We will forget the nerves and we know we will have to play with our heads and be patient. I am totally convinced we will be champions."[LNB]If Chelsea do lose at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United could get their hands on a fourth successive league title by beating Stoke at Old Trafford.[LNB]Malouda added: "We know Wigan will not give up against us, but our chance of winning the title should be big enough to overcome any obstacle placed in front of us.[LNB]"The key to beating Wigan will be to score the first goal. We must not think about Manchester United and for Chelsea the only interest is our match."
