Chelsea captain John Terry is bullish about his club's prospects of regaining the Premier League title from Manchester United in the coming months.

Terry saw his side lose out to the Red Devils both at home and in Europe last season, but believes that United may have peaked, while the Blues can improve under new head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

He commented: "I don't think United have another level to go to. They had a lot of players who have been at the peak of their form for the last two years.

"Rio Ferdinand has been awesome for the last two years and Cristiano Ronaldo was unbelievable, I don't think you'll see that again.

"Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, Ryan Giggs, they have all been fantastic.

"I think we can close the gap because Manchester United were at the very top of their game last season, but we've been very close to them and we had injuries and a change of manager.

"The new manager has come in and made a few changes. He's made some great signings. Deco looks awesome so I'm excited to see him play.

"We need to start well and get off to a flyer, just keep winning.

"United have a few tough games early on, but Liverpool have made some good signings and will be stronger this year. We need to focus.

"We have a good home record and if we can continue that and get off to a good start, then we'll be all right."
