Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta insists they can win the Premier League title.
Azpilicueta believes it's a possibility, and named the reasons why Chelsea could secure an unlikely title triumph despite the 'gap' that has been opened up by Liverpool and Manchester City, who finished 25 and 26 points ahead of the Blues respectively last term.
"Well the truth is that last year they opened a big gap," the Spaniard told Sky Sports. "They raised the level more than anybody could imagine.
“They have been working together with the group of players and the manager for a few years.
"But it's up to us to raise our level by working hard, by having the focus and the mentality to fight for this title.
“Last season we finished third but it's in our hands to try to reach the top."
