John Terry has not given up on a Chelsea making a late charge into the top four following their win over London rivals Arsenal.

The fallen champions are seven games unbeaten since Jose Mourinho’s exit and inched up to 13th, their highest position since October.

They are still 14 points adrift of Tottenham in fourth, but Terry said: ‘Anything is do-able. Everybody is beating everybody else.

'It is a tough league and if we put a run together we have a good chance. We will fight until there are no points to play for.’

Interim manager Guus Hiddink said: ‘If the captain says yes then we will follow the captain. It is a gap and it is difficult to go into fourth but I’ll follow my captain.’

Cesc Fabregas added to the Chelsea optimism by saying: ‘I am feeling sharp and my brain is quicker than in the last few months. I am nearly there.

'I feel under pressure but I am in more control. In the last year, this is the best moment for me.’

Nemanja Matic, recalled to the midfield, said. ‘This is the real Chelsea. We are still a big team and we can win something.’

However, Didier Drogba will play for Montreal Impact in the MLS this year, rather than join the Stamford Bridge backroom staff.
