Chelsea winger Arjen Robben insists the reigning champions are still confident of retaining the trophy despite still being five points adrift of leaders Manchester United.

Coach Jose Mourinho has claimed he is enjoying the challenge of chasing a team for the title and Robben is adamant that they will retain the Premiership title.

"The last two years were different because we were first quite early and kept it," Robben said.

"Now we are five points behind so we have to make our way up and chase Manchester United. Five points for us is not a problem. There is a long way to go and we are still very confident about winning the title.

"It [the win] was not about sending a message to Manchester United. We have to concentrate on our own game, focus and keep winning.

"There’s still such a long way to go and United have to play a lot of difficult games as well. So we just have to keep winning, game by game. That’s all we can do.

Chelsea face away games at Everton and Wigan as well as a League Cup clash away to Newcastle before their next home game against Reading on Boxing Day.

"Since I’ve come here the mentality has been brilliant," Robben added.

"I think that’s one of our biggest qualities. I love playing with players that always want to win and who will always fight for their team."
