L

ondon's temporary Chelsea coach Rafael Benitez has admitted that his players will not win the Premier League title this season.

The current Champions League winners are already 13 points behind leaders Man Utd.

"Speaking about the national championship, I don't think we can beat our rivals," said Benitez. "But we still have the FA Cup, the Football Association Cup, and the UEFA Europa League. I just have to inspire confidence in the team that we can overcome anything. When there is belief, all tasks become easier."

Under Benitez's leadership, who replaced the dismissed Roberto Di Matteo in November, Chelsea won nine matches, drew three, and lost four. Benitez should be concerned about their performance at the home stadium of Stamford Bridge, where they have won only one Premier League victory.

"After disappointing draws with Southampton, it is important to face a big challenge," added the Spaniard. "It's great that the next match is against London's Arsenal - one of the main rivals. If we win, it will mean a lot.
