May 16 (Reuters) - Chelsea need to learn from the mistakes of last season to be better prepared to defend their Premier League title in the coming campaign, centre back Tim Cahill has said. "I really hope we have learned the lessons from what happened the last time we tried to do that." Chelsea were crowned champions under Jose Mourinho in 2014-15 but endured a miserable defence of their title the following season, finishing 10th as 5,000-1 outsiders Leicester City emerged as surprise winners. Leicester have also struggled following their unlikely success and are currently 11th in the table with two games to play. Manchester United were the last team to successfully defend the league title, winning three in a row from 2006, while Chelsea notched consecutive wins in 2004 and 2005.
