Chelsea dropped points during the weekend, as the Blues could only muster a 1-1 draw against Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

However, with eight points separating Chelsea and Manchester City, former England manager Fabio Capello, believes that Chelsea can win the league this season.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s Laureus Sports Awards in Monaco, Capello said: “Now you can see a real team spirit. They have a winning mentality. Last year they finished mid-table and this is like a completely different team.

“There are still a lot of games to play, big teams to play and it will be difficult even with nine points but I think he will win the title with Chelsea.”
