Forward insists champions can still win Premier League

Salomon Kalou insists that Chelsea can still challenge for the Premier League title after their midweek win over title favourites Manchester United. The defending champions secured victory over United on Tuesday which sent them into fourth, 12 points behind the leaders with a game in hand. Chelsea are also still going well in the UEFA Champions League and the Ivorian insists their season is still very much alive domestically as well as in Europe. "We have to fight for both competitions, even though, in the Premier League it will be more difficult to win it," he said. "But we have to do like we did on Tuesday night, we have to keep believing and take it game by game.

Fight

"I think we are showing the good side of Chelsea, because we can't just fight for one competition, we always fight for every competition." With the Champions League final being played at Wembley this season, Kalou admits he would love the chance to play there in the final. "I love playing at Wembley. It is a great stadium, it has an amazing atmosphere and it is a special place for us," Kalou said. "Hopefully we can get here for the final because it is our lucky stadium. "Every time I came to Wembley for a final, we have had a good game and we won."
