Grant backs team for double

Chelsea manager Avram Grant thinks the team can win both the Premier League and Champions League trophies this season.

He said: "I never know the result before a game; otherwise, I would gamble and become a millionaire.

"But I know what I expect and what we can do. I have confidence in my team, never mind whether we are playing Fenerbahce or Barcelona.

"We played well in Turkey, not just in the first half but in the second half until they scored.

"Fenerbahce are a good team with a good coach. He was a player I liked very much.

"I know it will not be easy but I know we can win. We have a lot of quality and can beat anyone.

"During December and January nearly all the big players were out.

"This group of players has brought us to the place we are now. They have done a terrific job - so we trust them."

On the 2-0 victory over Manchester City, he added: "I am always happy when we win. We started well, but Manchester City came back at us. They have a good team and a good manager.

"City put on a good show in the first half, but we played better in the second period and could have scored more."
