Jose Mourinho remains convinced Chelsea will see off Manchester United to claim a third consecutive Premiership title.
The reigning champions reduced the gap at the top to two points on Sunday after beating Everton 3-2 before United lost at West Ham.
Those results restored Chelsea to the position of favourites for the Premiership and Mourinho is confident his players can retain their crown.
"I am as convinced as I was three or four months ago we are going to win the title," Mourinho told The Sun.
"I have won four consecutive titles. It's not normal for one club to do that and even less so for one coach.
"The work done by the club, more than the players, is always questioned. They don't give us the credit we believe we deserve.
"We were champions in the first year and champions again. If we are not champions again then our work will be analysed in a negative way."
Mourinho also insisted he does not encourage his players to bend the rules in the pursuit of victory.
Didier Drogba's antics have often been criticised, but the Chelsea boss is adamant he does not instruct his players to dive.
He added: "The end doesn't justify the means. I'm a just person.
"I don't like to lose because of an injustice and I don't like to win because of an injustice."

jose often gets too overconfident when the points are near, last season too... and when his team loses, he becomes the sore loser and said hes the better one...
