Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is adamant their defeat at Manchester United has not hurt their title chances.
It was Villas-Boas' first defeat as Chelsea boss, which leaves his side five points adrift of the hosts, who are now two points clear following Manchester City's failure to hold onto a two-goal lead at Fulham.
"As I said before, nothing that happened here would mean anything in the Premier League table," said Villas-Boas.
"It is an [unpredictable] league.
"Manchester City have the most amazing squad as well, but they didn't win. Arsenal and Liverpool lost.
"All of the five contenders are there. Anything can happen.
"The most regular is United at the moment but we showed we are up to the level of the champions.
"This game didn't go our way. But we will be up there competing for the title, I am glad Sir Alex corroborates."
