Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois backs his side to make the Premier League's top four at the end of the season.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has backed his side to make the Premier League's top four at the end of the season.

The Blues are in fifth place as it stands following their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last weekend, but Antonio Conte's men are only two points behind Tottenham Hotspur.

Belgian international Courtois has admitted that it will be "tough" to earn a spot in the Champions League qualification places, but said that his side have the quality to achieve their aim.

"It stays the same, it is tough," the goalkeeper told reporters. "[Manchester] City are obviously far away but for the second, third and fourth spot there are five teams so it will be hard until the last match of the season.

"But I think we have enough quality as we saw on Sunday and we showed it against Barcelona.

"I think we are a very good team but there are some other good teams around us as well."

Chelsea's defeat to United was their seventh in the league this term.
