Chelsea striker Didier Drogba admits the team is currently in a difficult moment but is adamant that things are not all that bad.
The Blues have fallen badly out of form in the past few weeks, failing to win in their last four league matches, culminating in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Marseille.
And with a tricky trio of matches ahead of them - Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal - things look like that they will only get worse.
But Drogba is maintaining calm amongst the playing group and admits that a couple of good results in this part of the season will help them bounce back.
"If we win these games it will change the situation we're in. It's not finished yet," he said defiantly.
"It's a difficult moment for us but this is the kind of thing that can happen to many teams. It's rare for Chelsea to have a period like this and I hope it's going to get better.
"Maybe everyone will expect us to lose on Sunday but it could be different.
"I see Tottenham as genuine title rivals. They're having a good season and there is no reason why they can't challenge. Chelsea used to beat them regularly but things change, that's life. It is up to us to make it happen again."
