The Chelsea number one who picked the ball out of his goal post for the first time in over two months says Sunday's game away to Man City will not decide the title's destination, insisting that it is games against seemingly underdogs that takes the allure off title hopefuls.

‘You can win big matches even if you’re not
having a good season, because it is a big
match or a derby, but it is the smaller
matches against difficult adversaries that you will see if you are going to be champions or not.’

‘Now we are going to Man City to try and get another result, and then after it the next away games are at Sunderland and Crystal Palace, and it is games like those that decide if you are going to be champions or not.

Courtois however will relish our winning streak as long as it lasts.

‘We are taking it match by match,’
‘It’s quite hard to keep a run going in
this league but after the couple of matches
we lost we have won seven in a row which is very good.

It can get even better if we can put one past Sunday's opponents who are one point behind.
