Eden Hazard admits he is enjoying his time at Chelsea after signing from Lille over the summer. The Belgium international has played all but three of his club's 53 games this season.

"My confidence is really up at the moment and I feel good in myself," Hazard told the club's official website.

"It's quite weird because, historically, March always seems to be the best time of the year for me.

"Last year I got player of the month in Ligue 1, and a couple of years ago I won the same award. I don't know why but it seems as though things come good for me at this time of the season.

"Being honest, I didn't expect to be playing in every game, but aside from the three I missed through suspension, I have.

"Thank goodness I haven't been injured so far, and let's hope that continues so I can keep playing.

"I have been on the bench on a few occasions but, of course, it's been good for me. We know we have a strong group of players and a great team.

"The manager has other choices because in attack we have a number of players who can make a difference and decide games on their own."

The 22-year-old remains confident the Blues can still qualify for next season's Champions League, with Chelsea third in the Premier League going into the international break.

"It was a big disappointment going out of the Champions League so early, particularly as the same thing happened to me with Lille last season, when we were eliminated at the group stage," he added.

"It's such an important competition and that's why I feel we could have achieved a bit more this season.

"We're on the right path to qualify for next season's tournament, though, and I think if we do we have enough quality players at the club to go a long way in it.

"The ultimate objective is to go as far as you can in the Champions League."
