Armed with a perfect start with six points from two games, Chelsea coach, Scolari has not been carried away just yet.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal have already dropped points and although the Blues were far from their best in a lacklustre 1-0 win at Wigan on Sunday, they have made a decisive start to life under the Brazilian.

Scolari's former Portugal charge Deco was the man responsible for delivering the points, grabbing his second goal in as many games with a delightful free-kick after three minutes, but Scolari was eager to downplay Chelsea's advantage.

Asked if Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger would be feeling any added strain so early in the campaign, he said: "After two games only? No.

"It is only two games - if it was the last games of the season, maybe there would be pressure but now? No.

"I think teams have time now to lose some points."

Scolari, who would not shed any light on the club's reportedly renewed interest in Real Madrid's Robinho or the sale of Andriy Shevchenko to AC Milan, admitted his side did not scale the heights of their opening-day thrashing of Portsmouth.

"I understand that we didn't play like last week but I also understand the reasons why," he said.

"Wigan played better than Portsmouth, they pressured us and they were playing at home - the people can help more than they can when we are at Stamford Bridge.

"Also, I have had many problems this week. Michael Ballack played with a little injury, Michael Essien has not been training for 10 days, then trains for two and I needed him to play 90 minutes and Mikel John Obi is out.

"But they fought and it was possible to win the game. It is fantastic for Chelsea and fantastic for our group because we have confidence and we have six points."
