"There are still a lot of games to go, so it's important everyone at the club remains calm," said the defender.
"A lot of people said at the start of the season that we needed to be in the title race at the end and at least be in with a fighting chance.
"We finished fourth last season, but we have overtaken Chelsea and Arsenal and even though everyone at the club understands that it's not over yet by a long way, at the moment it looks like it is going to be us and Manchester United for the title.
"Just by overtaking Chelsea and Arsenal in the challenge is an achievement in itself already so everyone should be proud of that.
"Now hopefully we can go one step further and win this title."
