Chelsea will win the Premier League title this season, manager Jose Mourinho has predicted.
The Blues were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St-Germain in midweek but lead the top flight by five points with 11 games remaining.
Mourinho said: “The people who went out last Wednesday are the same who’ve been top of the league since day one.
“They are the same people who won the Capital One Cup and the same people who are going to win the Premier League.”
Mourinho said that he held a meeting with his players to discuss their defeat, on away goals, in the last 16 of the Champions League and had now “closed the chapter”.
He added: “If you want to speak about the Champions League, you have to go to (Arsenal manager) Arsene Wenger or (Manchester City boss) Manuel Pellegrini.
“They are representing England. They have to win one match and I hope they do it. The only thing to speak about the Champions League is that if we win the Premier League, we are top seeds next season.
“What we can do now for our club is to win the Premier League. Our situation is good. Everybody would love to be in our position. If we win the Premier League and the League Cup, it’s a brilliant season.”
