Fabregas was the creative fulcrum of Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge on Monday and his assists set up goals for Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic.
Marcos Alonso was also on target for the Blues, who are now seven points clear of second placed Tottenham.
Chelsea will be crowned champions in Antonio Conte’s first season as manager if they beat West Bromwich Albion on Friday and Fabregas has his sights set on a title party at the Hawthorns.
“We are close and in football nothing is done until it’s done. Hopefully on Friday we can have the title,” Fabregas said.
“It would be amazing to do it Friday – the quicker the better
“Today is a big step forward. Nothing is done yet and it’s a big final on Friday.”
