OPINION - Luiz says we can still win it. Do you believe?

Our new cult hero David Luiz has spoken of a hunger and desire within the Chelsea squad and a belief that we can still achieve great success this season in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Fresh from scoring his second important goal in recent weeks at the weekend, Luiz said:

"We can definitely still win the title. There are still a lot of games to play, a lot of points to play for, so there’s no reason why we can’t. I want to win both the Premier League and the Champions League – and we can still do it. We are in good form and we have to believe we can win trophies. We’re playing well and anything is possible.”

You have to admit, right now things seem to be going in our favour. We have a fully fit squad to select from which enables Ancelotti to rotate the players. I keep saying it on here, but United have their injury problems along with suspensions to deal with and Arsenal have their problems.

The important thing is Chelsea are now back winning games and big games against United and City. We now sit in third place four points behind Arsenal with a game in hand on City (which would take us four points clear of them if we won it).

Our next five games are winnable even though we shouldn't take anything for granted. We play Stoke away, Wigan at home, West Brom away, then Birmingham (game in hand) and West Ham at home. If we can take 15 points or even 13 points from these games I believe we will be right back on the tail of Arsenal for second place and then who knows what can happen before the end of the season.

Arsenal's next five games are against Blackburn at home, Blackpool away, Liverpool at home, Tottenham away followed by Bolton away.

United's next four games (as they have no games in hand) are against West Ham away, Fulham at home, Everton away and Arsenal away. Let's not forget sandwiched in between all these games is both legs of the Champions League against us and also the FA Cup semi-final against City.

It proves that now more than ever, you need your players fit and ready to go. This is where Chelsea will have a massive advantage over everyone else. We need to capitalise and I believe we can.

What do you think based on the fixtures above?. Do you think we can realistically aim for United or is Arsenal and second place more realistic?

KTBFFH.
