Chelsea are now two points away from the top spot after three consecutive wins in the league.
The weekend win at Newcastle United saw Frank Lampard’s men briefly move top of the table, but Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool leapfrogged the West Londoners again after their respective wins.
After Tuesday’s encounter against Rennes in the Champions League, Chelsea will welcome Tottenham to Stamford Bridge, in an early season clash that might determine their title credentials.
“It’s always been our goal [to win the title]," Mount said in a pre-match press conference. "We know what we can achieve, and we know the level of the players in this group.
"We can never be content with being top of the group in the Champions League and going to the top of the league and being around it; we can never be content with that. We know what we can do and our goal is always to be No 1 and push for titles. We know we can do that.
"The most important thing at the moment is to try to keep the momentum going. Go from game to game and try to go into each one with the mentality of winning it. When you keep that going, you go into every game wanting to win.
"We are in a good place at the moment but we can’t get carried away. It is exciting times, but we’re so ready to keep working hard.”
