Obi Mikel backs Chelsea to win opening seven games
John Obi Mikel is convinced Chelsea can win their opening seven Premiership games.
The Blues go into Sunday's clash with Fulham on the back of two victories and also face Burnley, Stoke, Wigan and Tottenham before playing host to Rafael Benitez's Liverpool.
Mikel believes they could build a healthy lead at the top of the table by securing a maximum 21 points from their first seven games.
He said: “That will certainly do for us. If we win all seven it will be a good achievement, although at the moment we are taking each game as it comes.”

Ha Fulham are always strong at home so be very careful,never look ahead so far.
I believe that the first 6 matches will be easier, but then agains Tottenham...
We Spurs are really on top of our game, and we have proven that we can beat teams of the top 4 --> Liverpool
Tottenham have a solid squad, with players like Modric, Defoe, Palacios..
Chelsea have a fantastic squad, in my eyes, coming from a spurs fan...
So its gonna be a very interesting and entertaining game the one: Chelsea - Spurs
COME ON YIDS
Yes , Yes , Yes we can, not 7 matches, but 10 straight win, will be better, yes we can. We are strong and better this season than ever, nobody can stop Chelsea this season, up Blues.JT
