Tony Cascarino backs Chelsea recovery after end of unbeaten run

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino expects the Blues to still win the Premier League, despite Saturday's setback at Newcastle United.

Tony Cascarino has claimed that former club Chelsea will put their defeat to Newcastle United behind them and still win the Premier League this season.

The league leaders' 14-game unbeaten run came to an end at St James' Park on Saturday as two goals from Papiss Cisse helped the Magpies to a narrow 2-1 win.

The Blues' afternoon was made worse by the news that second-placed Manchester City beat Everton 1-0 to move within three points of Jose Mourinho's side in the table.

"I think they'll do it," ex-Chelsea striker Cascarino told talkSport. "I think they've got a bit more than [Manchester] City. If you get City's best XI, they can match anybody – there's no doubt about that.

"Chelsea are a better organised team though. Yesterday was a bad result, but I think they'll bounce back and be fine."

Last month, bookmakers Paddy Power paid out on Mourinho's men winning the title this season.
