Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes
they'll have the title wrapped up with a month to spare this
season.
Mourinho has targeted the home clash with West Ham on April 9 at
Stamford Bridge as his potential decider with the Blues already 15
points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
"We are champions, we want to be champions again and these
victories are not just statistics - it's about winning silverware,"
said Mourinho.
"There are 14 matches to go and now we know we need eight
victories.
So now we can go into countdown and when we get eight victories we
are champions."
Mourinho's plan has already seen the West Ham game moved to a noon
kick-off for television coverage.
The Portuguese boss has a habit of predicting events before they
take place as last season he announced at Christmas that Chelsea
would win the title at Bolton on April 30, and that is exactly what
happened.
Mourinho added: "We are in a good position. We have a minimum of 15
points from Manchester United. Arsenal is far. Tottenham is
far.
"We have the Premiership in our hands. We cannot lose
it."
