After beating Liverpool on Saturday, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has said the Premier League title is now Chelsea's to lose.
"This season depends only on us now, we're top of the table and we prepare for the next games with determination," The Sun quoted Ancelotti, as saying.
Chelsea replaced Manchester United at the summit after Alex Ferguson's side were held 2-2 by Sunderland on Saturday.
Ancelotti added: "United's result was a surprise for sure. But we wanted to stay concentrated on our own season, not the others. This was an important victory against a very good team and I'm happy."
Liverpool title challenge still on
Liverpool's Premier League title challenge is not over, said team coach Rafa Benitez in spite of the loss to Chelsea.
Liverpool have already suffered defeats by Tottenham, Aston Villa and now Chelsea, leaving them six points behind the leaders from the Bridge.
But Benitez pointed to Manchester United's defeat at Burnley and their draw with Sunderland - as well as Chelsea's loss at Wigan - as reasons to remain cheerful.
"If the teams at the top lose points and you win, then you're in a better position. But it's a long race. Chelsea are very strong but we'll try to stay as close as possible and see what happens in April and May. You will see the top sides losing more points against any team. That's good for the Premier League but it means we have to keep going," The Sun quoted him, as saying.
"We can't think about three defeats. It's one game at a time, try to win the next game and improve. That's it," he added.
Liverpool face Sunderland after the international break and Benitez pointed to the amount of games they drew last season as their undoing.
No question of leaving Arsenal for Barcelona: Fabregas
Meanwhile, Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has said he is keen to stay on at the club and has ruled out a move to Barcelona, where he learnt his football skills.
"It's my seventh season here and it's hard to hear people say they think I'm not committed enough. It was a good time to show them I really love this club," The Sun quoted Fabregas, as saying.
