Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas remains hopeful that he can help the Blues reverse their poor form in the Premier League, and put the pressure on Tottenham who currently lie in 3rd place, 7 points ahead of Chelsea.

Last night, Chelsea dropped a crucial two points against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, but Villas-Boas refuses to give up hope that he can reverse the club's poor Premier League form.<br />

"It is a gap that has grown tonight, but two weekends ago it was reduced," said Villas-Boas. "So, we go back to where we were before. A seven point gap is nothing in the Premiership.<br />

"It is never satisfying only to get a point, but Tottenham are still within our reach and let us see what we can do from here.<br />

"At the moment it makes no sense for me to speak about the league. We are competing for the Champions League and that is our main objective.<br />

"We will face what will probably be the new league leaders, next weekend, and after that game, we can see if the first spot is within our reach or not."
