Chelsea captain John Terry has hailed the defensive work of their attacking players this season.
While captain Terry has praised the work of his fellow defenders, he also believes the tracking back of his forwards has been vital.
"Everyone was questioning the defence early on in the season, but it's going to happen," Terry said.
"There are so many good teams and individuals in the League, we are going to concede goals.
"The important thing going forward is we have goals in us - as long as we're not conceding too many.
"We have had a few clean sheets on the bounce, defensively we have been doing very well, not just the back four, but it's also people like Eden [Hazard], Andre [Schurrle]coming back and able to go forward as well."
