Chelsea manager, Andre Villas-Boas, trying to be realistic chance of winning the Premier League squad this season. The results from the host Fulham drew 1-1 last night to make Villas-Boas think Chelsea are now dead opportunities.

"Today the difference between us and the top standings will be much bigger," says Villas-Boas after the match. "With the situation the City and United continue to get the numbers, of course it will be difficult for us."

On board the standings, Chelsea are now perched at number four, which stood at 34 points from 18 matches. Meanwhile, Manchester City and Manchester United winning eleven points from Chelsea.

Villas-Boas saw his squad is currently very difficult to catch Manchester duo. Although not impossible, the Portuguese coach is seeing his chances are very small.

''For now, hope it win the Premier League is over for us, "he said." You should be able to recognize the existing situation. You do not live in false hope when the distance (in the standings board) has been even greater.''
