Mata hoping to turn Chelsea season around

Two consecutive 3-0 victories for Chelsea have lifted the hopes of the Blues' players, who are now eyeing Premier League success. Juan Mata thinks that Chelsea can actually still go on to win the title, despite a huge gap from runaway league leaders Man City.

"It's not impossible for us to still win the title," Mata said. "There are so many weeks until the Premier League finishes and we will keep going every week to win and to be closer to first place.


"Have we answered the critics? Yes, with the win against Valencia and the last game at Newcastle. These two games have given us more confidence and we have to train this week very well to play against City. That is a very important game for us as well.


"We want to change our record in the big games this season because we lost against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United but we hope against Manchester City we change this bad thing."
