Chelsea ace Petr Cech believes six Premier League wins out of seven could be enough to secure this season's league title.
The rare for the title is the tightest it has been in a number of years with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal all separated by just two points.
Chelsea sent out a message to their two rivals on Wednesday by putting lowly Portsmouth to the sword with a 5-0 victory at Fratton Park.
There is all to play for in the final straight and Cech admits his team-mates will have to do it the hard way with a trip to Man Utd on the horizon.
"There are seven matches yet to be played in the league and I think that six victories and one draw or, of course, seven wins, would secure the championship title," Cech told his personal website.
"Out of the title contenders we are having the toughest run in. Tottenham, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all sides chasing fourth spot and on top of that we play Manchester United at Old Trafford.
"Anyway, if we want to clinch the title, then we have to cope with it."
Cech made his first-team return in Chelsea's midweek romp and the Czech Republic ace felt no ill effects from his calf injury.
"It is fine, I did not even feel it on the soft and tough pitch," he concluded.
