Chelsea's Cech questions Liverpool's title credentials

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has attempted to unsettle Liverpool in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

The Reds currently sit on top of the table, two points ahead of Chelsea, and seven points clear of third-placed Manchester City who have two games in hand.

The Anfield club have surprised many this season by emerging as a genuine title contender but Cech has questioned whether or not they have the mettle to deal with the pressure that comes with now being premiership favourites.

"No-one expected anything from Liverpool and they are in contention and that is why they play without pressure so far, but let's see how they are going to cope when it comes to the last hurdle," said Cech.

"They will have to jump over it and they have been doing remarkably well. We have things in our hands. We need to wait for one slip-up from Manchester City, but if we win our games we have a chance.

"At the start, everyone has 38 games to have the most points and I don't think at the end of 38 games it is a question of luck. The one who gets the most points obviously deserves to win the title, so we will see who it will be.

"It is great to put ourselves in a situation where we know we have a chance. So we will go for it. If we win all of our games, right at the end we will be in contention."
