Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is hopeful his side can maintain their title challenge following Saturday's victory over Manchester United.
The Blues are now top of the league and two points ahead of United with five games remaining.
And Cech insists his team must handle the pressure of being front-runners after the crucial victory at Old Trafford.
"It is very important to win these matches, the so-called six-pointers," he wrote on his personal website.
"It is equally important for us to manage the fixtures we have remaining.
"We are now in a position where our destiny is in our hands and it is up to us to cope with it."
The Czech international also entered the debate surrounding Didier Drogba's goal, which appeared to be offside, pointing out that United's goal was equally controversial when Federico Macheda appeared to touch the ball with his hand.
"If everyone is talking about an offside position for our second goal, then there should also be talk about the handball which helped lead to Manchester United's goal," he said.
"With that in mind, one situation and one decision went our way, but the second situation and decision went against us.
"After all that, it is clear that we were still better by one goal and deserved to win."
