Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists they won't give up on their title defence.

Courtois, 25, admits that while the 14 point gap to City is a big one, it's simply not in the blues' nature to throw in the towel.

"Obviously we are far away," the Belgian stopper told the official Chelsea website.

"But we want to keep on pushing and if we can't catch them we want to finish second.

"It was very good that we showed from the start we wanted to win against Huddersfield and that's the mentality we need in every game."
