Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes the Blues are still very much in the race for the Premier League title - and has vowed to keep fighting. The Blues kept up the chase on leading duo Manchester United and Liverpool with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday to spoil Alan Shearer's homecoming at St James' Park. Chelsea trail leaders United by four points and have played a game more than the reigning champions, but Cech refuses to concede defeat in the battle for the Premier League crown. "As long as there is any sort of a mathematical chance (to win the title), we will fight to win it," Cech told his official website. Cech was happy to keep a clean sheet against Newcastle and added: "Every time you keep a clean sheet it makes you happy. "Especially this one from Newcastle where it is always a tough game. "We coped with the match in the best possible way. I did not have too much work during the match but there were some dangerous crosses. I caught them all so I am content." Cech feels the win sets them up nicely for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final with arch-rivals Liverpool "It is always good to win a game ahead of such an important clash," added Cech. "We have managed to do so and that is why we are going into the match in good mood."
