Terry on Manchester United and the Title.

John Terry has once again taken the time to speak out and has given a message to Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester City that Chelsea refuse to be counted out of the title race.

He said:

"If we want to put in a run and a charge for the Premier League, we must beat Manchester United, A draw's no good and, obviously, losing is no good at all.

We go into the game with no fear, just passion. Being able to put pressure on them would be great. There's a really small chance of us still winning the title, but it's a must-win game. Teams have clawed back deficits like this before. It's been done. United did it to Newcastle many years ago. It's possible and a little bit of pressure …

Even last year, at the end of the season, there was an awful lot of pressure on us going into the last few games with us knowing we needed to win. Luckily for us, Liverpool were out of it, really, when we went there and didn't put up much of a fight. But we'd gone to Old Trafford and won, and that experience did us the world of good. Recreating that could prove vital this year.

Who knows what game plan they're going to come down with? They're playing well, so they'll probably be confident of coming down and getting something, which will hopefully suit us. I don't think anyone should be fearful of United. At times we see they can be beaten and got at. They're certainly not invincible.

At times, the likes of Manchester City and Spurs are looking very good, but they're slipping up as well like we all are at the moment, The only side who aren't are Manchester United. But when teams like Tottenham and City do slip up, it's down to us to capitalise and make sure we win so we can hopefully pull away from them.

I know we lost some experienced players last summer in Michael Ballack, Deco and Juliano Belletti, but we still have an awful lot of experience in our squad, a lot of trust in one another and belief that we can still do it. We showed that in the run-in last year, and we can again."

Great stuff again from our captain. Some people knock him, but he comes out and says exactly what we want our players to be thinking and believing ahead of the biggest game of our season.

I personally think United are a good side, however, I do not think that are as good a side as they have been in recent seasons and it's up to us to take the game to them.

We all know that we have slipped up this season, United haven't yet and every side has some sort of blip in their season. I just wonder if we can beat United on Tuesday night, whether it will be the start of a blip that could see us right back in it?.

It's important to remain focused knowing that the only way this will happen is if we beat United. Only a win will do for Chelsea.

As for City and Spurs, I am not too bothered at the moment. Spurs lost the other night so if we win our game in hand we go back above them into fourth and just one point behind City with our return game against them coming up at the Bridge.

I cannot emphasise this enough, especially after the way we have played against the likes of Liverpool and Fulham. We need to beat United and after seeing their performance last night compared to ours, we should be confident.
