| Juan Mata says you cannot write off Chelsea for the title |
JUAN MATA expects Chelsea to be title contenders despite their 'unreal' start to the season.
The Manchester United midfielder, by comparison, is enjoying one of his best ever Premier League starts.
He has netted five times in all competitions for the Red Devils, and seems to be showing the kind of form that saw him win Chelsea Player of the Year two season in a row.
And he believes, with Jose Mourinho and the quality of players at Stamford Bridge, it will not be long before the Blues are back to their old ways.
"I think they are leaving an unreal situation. I don't think it will last," he told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
"The squad is not one that will finish 16th in the Premier League.
"In this league you can make up 15 points in a couple of months. I think Chelsea will get out of it because of the competitive squad they have.
"I don't rule them out for the title. With Eden Hazard, Oscar, Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa they are going to compete this season."
Chelsea currently sit in sixteenth place in the Premier League, and already find themselves seven points adrift of the top four.
