Despite early defeats by Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea are back in the title race after five consecutive victories.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois thinks Chelsea need to go step by step and believes the next few weeks are important weeks for Chelsea.

“After these last five games, I think you would say we are there. But we have to go step by step,” Courtois told Daily Mail.

“Last season we had some difficult games in September which we lost. So we have to go step by step and we will see where we end. We face some good opponents. Middlesbrough is a hard team to beat and then Tottenham and Manchester City, so these are important weeks for us.”
