London: "Six finals" await Chelsea in the Premier League run-in after a 2-0 loss at Manchester United that leaves their title chances at only "50 percent", manager Antonio Conte said.

Having hoped to re-establish a seven-point lead over second-place Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea’s advantage remains four points following Sunday’s defeat at Old Trafford. They remain in the driving seat and will face only one top-seven side — Everton — in their last six games. "We have to think that there are six finals from now until the end," said the Italian "The league is open and we have a 50 percent probability to win the league."

Conte said his team’s quest for EPL title deserved to be considered a "miracle".

"I prefer to fight for the title instead of not fight for the title and stay calm. The pressure is normal and we are lucky to have the pressure," added Conte.
