text: Chelsea midfielder Oscar hopes that winning the Premier League title this season can kick-start a period of dominance in English football for the Blues. Jose Mourinho's side are 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who they play at the weekend, and Brazil international Oscar has aspirations of further success in the coming seasons. 'Hopefully, yes. This squad is really young and we've been playing together for a long time,' he told Goal. 'We are improving as the time goes by. This is good for the players and for the club. We know each others' movements on the pitch. Oscar (right) hopes that Chelsea winning the Premier League can kick-start a period of dominance in England . The Blues have already won the Capital One Cup this season and are close to securing the league title . 'We know we are very close to the title but there are some challenges ahead,' he added. 'If we manage to lift this trophy and keep this level of performance we certainly will do some other good seasons like this one.' Chelsea travel to the Emirates on Sunday to face their nearest rivals Arsenal, and a win can take them 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal, though, have won eight matches in a row in the league and will certainly not go down without a fight. This is something Oscar, and his Chelsea team-mates, are well aware of. 'Arsenal have improved a lot,' the 23-year-old continued. 'They have won almost every match they played recently. So we know they are a real threat. The good thing is we've been doing well and we know that we are up to any challenge.' Ander Herrera (right) winces after being tackled by Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Oscar .
