Chelsea hitman Salomon Kalou believes winning the Premier League title this season will be 'easy' for Carlo Ancelotti's men - providing they can maintain their impressive form throughout the campaign.

Sunday's emphatic 3-0 win over rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium had many pundits purring and left the Blues firmly in the driving seat to claim their first league crown since 2006 after they restored their five point lead at the top of the table.

Chelsea have won 12 of their 14 Premier League matches under Ancelotti, while more impressively they have a 100 per cent record against the other so called 'Big Four' sides, without conceding in those victories.

Kalou, who has netted four goals for the club this season, acknowledges second placed Manchester United, who are chasing an unprecedented fourth successive title are a threat, however, he is convinced the crown will be Stamford Bridge bound.

"We've made a good start," he told Sky Sports News. "It's still a long journey. Manchester are still around.

"We still have to give them respect because they are a great team and keep winning.

"We know that as long as we maintain our performances, like we're doing now, it will be easy."
