Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists he can turn their form around after another home defeat last night to Liverpool.
But he did admit the result was a huge b low to their title hopes.
"It's not impossible to turn it around," Villas-Boas said.
"It's not the brightest of starts for Chelsea in the Premier League in the last 10 years, but the belief is there.
"It doesn't look good being 12 points behind the leaders, a strong leader, but the December fixtures give us hope if we're able to make the most of it."
