Pedro says Chelsea's 4-0 demolition of Manchester United has given the Blues the belief they can challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The Spain winger opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge after just 30 seconds, before goals from Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante completed the rout over Jose Mourinho's side.
The win lifted Chelsea into the top four, above Tottenham on goal difference, and has lifted confidence within Antonio Conte's squad that they will be contenders.
"It's the way to show we can fight for the title," he told Chelsea TV.
Pedro started in the absence of Willian, who is on compassionate leave following the death of his mother, and he is pleased to have manager Antonio Conte's trust.
"For me it's perfect that Conte is confident with me," he added.
"The work is perfect. The same work continues."
Three consecutive wins - combined with three successive clean sheets - may have lifted confidence in west London, but defender David Luiz has warned his team-mates not to get carried away with their good run.
"Every match is three points," he said. "It doesn't matter the opponent. It's good to win in this way. It's good to also keep the feet on the floor, with humility.
"The important thing now is to rest a bit and then start to think about West Ham."
