Chelsea skipper John Terry insists he never doubted they could win the title this season.
Incredibly, Chelsea will travel to Old Trafford on Sunday knowing victory would put them back on top of the table with just two games remaining.
Captain Terry said: "I always believed.
"Through the season, you have good spells, some not so good spells and some bad patches as well.
"There was no doubt we'd have a bad one and it was about coming out of that as soon as we could.
"It took us a few weeks to do that but, once we did, we've shown a turn of form at the right time.
"All we could do was keep winning and putting the pressure on."
