Petr Cech insists Chelsea have not yet thrown in the towel on their Premier League title quest.[LNB] The Blues have suffered an indifferent league campaign to date, form that resulted in Luiz Felipe Scolari's sacking just seven months into his tenure at Stamford Bridge.[LNB]However, with Guus Hiddink at the helm Chelsea moved back above Aston Villa and into third as the Londoners emerged from their trip to the Midlands with a priceless 1-0 win following a vintage performance.[LNB]Although Chelsea remain 10 points behind red-hot Manchester United, Cech insists there is still a long way to go.[LNB]"In football anything is possible. Nevertheless they have 10 points more than us, but you have to believe," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]You never know"You have to keep winning games and maybe they'll have a poor run of form. It doesn't look like they will, but you never know.[LNB]"If they drop points or whether Liverpool drop points we need to make sure we get our three in every game and put them under pressure."[LNB]Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson recently stated the title race was between his troops and Liverpool, but Cech believes that is just mind games from the Old Trafford supremo.[LNB]"I think he wanted to put more pressure on Liverpool than Chelsea because basically he always talks about the rivals and plays a little mind games," he continued.[LNB]"It's been like that for quite a while. We don't have to show to anyone that we're still in the title race, we just need to concentrate on ourselves."[LNB]See Chelsea in UEFA Champions League action against Italian giants Juventus on Wednesday live and exclusive on Sky Sports 2 and HD2.[LNB]
