Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said that he is targeting eight wins from the club's remaining 11 games in order to secure the Premier League title.

The Blues lead the way with a 10-point advantage in the top flight and are firm odds-on favourites with the bookies to be crowned champions in May.

After a trip to Stoke City tomorrow afternoon, Conte's men face tough ties with Manchester City, Manchester United and Everton in the run-in, and the Italian thinks that they can only afford to make three slip-ups if they want to win the league.

"It's important to first beat Stoke City and it won't be easy because it's a really strong team, a physical team but also with great players with good technique," he told reporters this afternoon. "Stoke City for sure is a really good team and for this reason we must be focused tomorrow. The game won't be easy.

"Now I think that we need 24 points to win the league and it's important for us to go game by game.

"If we lose only three games it's good because don't forget that this league is very tough and every game you can lose. The league has to finish and there are 11 games to go and tomorrow we will have a test, a very important and tough test, and we must pay great attention."

Chelsea will extend their lead to 13 points should they win on Saturday, with rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool all not due to play until Sunday.
