Nemanja Matic thinks Chelsea will win the Premier League due to their experience
Nemanja Matic was a key player for Chelsea the last time they won the Premier League title under Jose Mourinho in the 2014/15 season.
The Blues look comfortable this campaign and sit seven points clear at the top of the table heading into tonight's clash with West Ham (8pm).
And Matic thinks the experience of previously winning the title will be a huge advantage for Antonio Conte's men as they approach the run-in.

Nemanja Matic - 5 things you need to know
"We have more experience now from that season when we were champions," Matic told Sky Sports.
"We will try our best to win games - the experience of 2015 does help.
"We know to be champions you have to play every game like it's your last.
"And you have to give your best because you can drop any points at any time in the Premier League.
"As you can see from our last game against Swansea, we were much better and played good football but they scored from the one chance they got.
"It was 1-1 and it was hard until the end."
