Belgium international Eden Hazard has tipped Chelsea to win the 1013\/2014 premier league tittle following the 1-0 victory at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Though Mourinho has played down Chelsea’s title chances in his first season back in charge at Stamford Bridge, the Blues sit just two points behind leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Hazard, who has been Chelsea’s star performer in recent weeks, praised the performance at the Etihad Stadium and is determined to keep his team in the fight for the title.<\/p>\n

“We are aiming to win the league. It won’t be easy, but we won’t give up, we have the qualities needed to do it.” Hazard said.<\/p>\n

The play maker also spoke on Chelsea’s win against favorites, City.<\/p>\n

“Lots of people thought that we would just set out to defend,” Hazard is quoted in The Sun. “But it was the opposite.<\/p>\n

“We analysed City’s style of play very well before the game and we came along to win.<\/p>\n

“The discussions we had in advance were all about winning. The manager said, ‘Don’t defend, you are here to attack and score goals’. He said the same to all our attacking players.” He said.<\/p>\n
