Eden Hazard says Chelsea are almost ready to start celebrating the Premier League title after a 1-0 victory over QPR saw them move seven points clear at the top of the table.
Jose Mourinho's side, without top scorer Diego Costa, needed an 88th-minute goal from Cesc Fabregas to seal victory against Chris Ramsey's relegation-threatened men.
The result sees the Blues maintain their seven-point leader over second-placed Arsenal, having played a game less, with Manchester United and the Gunners up next in the Premier League.
Hazard says that, while Chelsea do still have some difficult games still to come, they are closing in on a first title since 2010.
"We're almost ready to start celebrating the title. But it is not finished," he told Canal Plus.
"In the Premier League, we know well that it is always difficult, with a lot of points ahead.
"We have two important games coming up against Arsenal and Manchester United. If we win one of those two that would be OK.
"We are close to reclaiming the title, but it is not finished yet - there is more work to do."
