Joe Cole believes Chelsea can win the Premier League this season.

Former Blue Cole is this season on-loan at Coventry City from Aston Villa.

"Anything is possible, and that's why we watch football. You can't rule them out as champions… that team could beat everyone from now until the end of the season," Cole said to Sky Sports.

"I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's football. It'll be interesting in the next few weeks. The fans haven't turned, they're right behind the manager and the chairman.

"The main thing you've got to think about is you've got the best manager in the world there… fact. That's not down to opinion, he's the most decorated over the different leagues.

"For Chelsea to move forward, you've got to stick with the manager and let him do what he does best. I don't think anyone can dispute his record and I'm sure he'll be relishing turning it around.

"What separates [Mourinho from the rest] is his common touch, how he relates to his players and gets the best out of each individual in the squad, whether you're the captain or the third-choice goalkeeper."
