Benitez dismisses title hopes


Rafa Benitez has written off Chelsea's chances of challenging for this season's Premier League title.





The interim boss made the trophy a target when he replaced Roberto Di Matteo in November, but the midweek draw with Southampton left his side 13 points behind leaders Manchester United.

And ahead of Sunday's derby game against Arsenal, Benitez said: "In terms of the league I don't think we can do it.

"But the Capital One Cup is there, the FA Cup is still open and the Europa League is still open.

"I just have to give the team the confidence that we can win against anyone. If you have that belief it becomes easier.

"The team is very close. We have John Terry and Frank Lampard back from injury. Now we have to be more consistent."
