Chelsea can still finish in the top four this season but winning the title is a job for Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise, says manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho's side beat Norwich 1-0 to win for the first time in four league games but are still 15th in the table.
"Fourth position for me is not an impossible mission. If you ask me about winning the the title, I would say impossible mission," said Mourinho.
"Maybe Tom Cruise can do it but it's complicated."
Chelsea are 12 points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal after 13 matches this season.
In the past five seasons, the teams finishing in fourth place - the final qualifying position for a place in the Champions League - have recorded an average of 72 points.
For Chelsea to reach that mark, they would need a further 58 points - or 19 wins and a draw from their remaining 25 matches.
