Gary Cahill hopes Chelsea can build some momentum after getting back to winning ways with Saturday's morale-boosting victory over Watford.
Chelsea had lost their previous two league games heading into the Watford clash and found themselves 2-1 down four minutes into the second half at Stamford Bridge.
But the champions rallied to score three times in the final 20 minutes with substitute Michy Batshuayi bagging a brace off the bench to seal a 4-2 victory.

And Cahill feels the win can act as a building block for the champions as they look to rediscover the form which saw them storm to the Premier League title last season.
‘It’s easy to play football when everything’s going well and you’re winning games back to back, it’s the best feeling ever', Cahill told Chelsea's official website.
'You go out and express yourself and feel as though you’re not going to make any mistakes. The hardest thing is when things aren’t going so well and you have to dig in and get results, and Saturday was one of those.
‘When you’re in a difficult moment the mood is going to be slightly down because everyone’s disappointed, they want to win.

'But that’s not just the case here, or with this team, I would guess it’s the same at every other big club', he added.
Cahill admitted it will be hard to keep pace with Manchester City, who sit nine points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table, but believes his side can still claw back the deficit as they proved last campaign.
‘We know there are lots of twists and turns to come. We were eight points behind City last season and managed to claw it back.
'I’m not saying that’s going to happen but we need to calm down and get back to it, it’s still open. We need to stay within touching distance.’
Chelsea host Everton on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup before they return to Premier League action with a trip to Bournemouth on Saturday.
