Petr Cech believes that Chelsea can take advantage of Manchester United’s hectic schedule and retain the Premier League title.\n<\/p>\n

A 2-0 win over a stubborn Manchester City on Sunday provided further evidence that Carlo Ancelotti’s side are moving on from their previous struggles in form.<\/p>\n

Defending Premier League champions Chelsea moved up to third as a result of the victory and are now nine points behind leaders United with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

With Sir Alex Ferguson’s men still to play Cech and his team-mates three times this season, twice in a two-legged UEFA Champions League quarter-final, and an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, Cech thinks there could be advantages for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Realistic<\/h4>\n

Asked if it was realistic to say that Chelsea were still in the Premier League title race, the goalkeeper told iDnes.cz<\/i>: “Yes, it is. <\/p>\n

“Manchester must spread energy into three competitions because apart from the Premier League they are still in the FA Cup and in the Champions League quarter-final against us.”<\/p>\n

United are without a number of players due to injury, including Rio Ferdinand, Rafael and John O’Shea.<\/p>\n

Jonny Evans is also unavailable due to suspension following a red card for his tackle on Bolton’s Stuart Holden at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Cech said: “They have got a lot of injured players and some are suspended. Anyway, we must keep winning and hope they drop points along the way.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
