Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is hopeful his charges are heading towards a strong ending to the campaign as they prepare to host Manchester United.
The Londoners will make it 10 straight games unbeaten under Hiddink's temporary management if they avoid defeat to United on Sunday.
"We're getting back on track," said the Dutchman, who has overseen four wins and five draws in nine games since returning to the club.
"I'd like to have more victories than the draws, but I think the team is step-by-step more stable and now we hope to go into a beautiful springtime."
