Avram Grant maintains Portsmouth should not fear Chelsea in the FA Cup final - but admits they must be careful if they are to avoid a drubbing.[LNB] Chelsea stormed to the Premier League title with an 8-0 demolition of Wigan on Sunday.[LNB]Carlo Ancelotti's men also chalked up big wins over Aston Villa, Sunderland and Stoke at Stamford Bridge, while also putting five past Pompey at Fratton Park during March in a season that saw them break the 100-goal barrier.[LNB]Grant quipped: "Chelsea won by eight against Wigan, last week by seven - every year I watch the NBA finals, and I thought I was watching basketball.[LNB]"We have an agreement that they will stop at four. I said to them: 'I did so many good things for you, you need to give back. I know you are not used to giving back, you are only used to taking'."[LNB]Grant, though, stressed: "To be serious, I don't believe in football that you need to fear. I don't believe in it in life either.[LNB]"But against this team we need to be very, very careful because they can hurt you from everywhere.[LNB]"They are a very good team and we need to be aware of this, but we are coming to Wembley and I can promise you this we will try to play football."
