Chelsea can win Premiership - Cech

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech insists the Premiership title is still within their grasp.

He said: "We have a difficult game at Everton but if we beat them we cut the gap to two and then Manchester United have to come to Stamford Bridge.

"We need someone to do us a favour and beat United but we have to make sure we win all our games to keep the pressure on.

"They were lucky against Arsenal so they can be unlucky against Blackburn and other the other teams. The best thing about the Premier League is that all the teams have quality and there is always pressure.

"We are all disappointed because we conceded a late goal and lost two points. But we had a difficult first half and didn't create many chances.

"We knew we needed to play much quicker and better in the second half and, until we conceded, we passed the ball better, we passed the ball quicker and that's why we had some chances.

"Suddenly we did more in one-on-one situations and finally we broke their line but unfortunately for us we conceded a late goal, which is difficult to take but there are still points to play for and we need to keep fighting."
