Petr Cech plays down likelihood of Chelsea winning Premier League

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech does not believe that his side are favourites for the Premier League title, despite having a four-point lead at the top.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has insisted that he is under no illusion that the club are favourites for the Premier League title.

The West London outfit are currently at the top of the table with a four-point lead over Liverpool.

However, with Manchester City having two games in hand, Cech believes that there is a long way to go before it is clear who will be crowned champions.

"We are top of the table because Manchester City are two games behind," Cech told Pravo. "If they win them, then they will be ahead of us due to the more number of goals scored.

"We are not the biggest favourites but we want to win the league and we will be fighting for it. There are still 10 games left."

The Blues will take on Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
