Chelsea's Premiership title challenge is over after the Blues were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Everton on 22th april. Guus Hiddink is ready to concentrate on a cup double after conceding Chelsea are realistically out of the race for the Premier League title.here is the news:
Hiddink's side are six points behind leaders Manchester United following Wednesday's Stamford Bridge stalemate and Sir Alex Ferguson's team can extend that advantage to nine points with a victory in their game in hand.It would take a remarkable collapse from the reigning champions for Chelsea to get back in the race and Hiddink conceded the west London club's hopes of silverware now lie with next week's Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona and the FA Cup final against Everton next month.
"We said before the game that the two teams chasing Man Utd must not waste any points to keep in the race. The facts are we lost two points," Hiddink said.
"We must be realistic. Maybe mathematically there is still a chance but on the other hand you cannot waste points.
"Now it is difficult. We have to focus now on only two roads in the Champions League and later against Everton in the FA Cup.
