Frank Lampard feels Chelsea are finding their best form under manager Andre Villas Boas.
Lampard has urged his side to continue that form with the West London derby quickly followed by a visit to Everton in the Carling Cup and then Arsenal in the Premier League.
"We had our early patch when we were playing some decent stuff but not really scoring goals," he said. "We have kicked into gear really.
"We are playing great football, creating chances and taking chances.
"Long may it continue. We have got some hard games coming up and we have got to keep it going."
