Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed he hopes he does not play for the Blues again this season as it will mean his side are continuing their title-winning form.

Antonio Conte's Chelsea are eight points clear at the top of the table after winning 15 of their last 16 matches. However, Terry has played only six minutes in the English top flight since September, as Conte's back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and David Luiz have been so effective.

Speaking to former England team-mate and Liverpool rival Steven Gerrard, Terry, 36, said he would have no problem spending the rest of the 2016-17 campaign on the sidelines if it meant Chelsea continued to win, per BT Sport (h/t MailOnline's Andy Warren):

I genuinely mean when I say it, but for me I am honestly hoping I don’t play this season which means they keep winning.
