Cech: Chelsea still in with chance of retaining Premiership crown

Chelsea stopper Petr Cech has a glass half-full when it comes to the Blues being title contenders again. A dreadful run of form has seen the Blues drop down the table and they currently sit fourth in the standings - 10 points behind league leaders Manchester United.

Carlo Ancelotti's team are beginning to turn the corner though, and picked up an emphatic 4-0 victory over Bolton on Monday night.

"As we said before the Ipswich game, we are looking for a run and we've got now three victories in a row, three clean sheets in a row, we scored lots of goals," Cech told Chelsea TV .

"I think this is the run you need to forget about the bad moment, the bad period we experienced.

"This is the way to come back into the title race and this is the way to secure the Champions League place.

"We will see in the next games what it's going to be like.

"There's still a long way to go and we need to keep going to have a chance to close the gap."
