Fernando Torres admits Chelsea's players are delighted with their Christmas form.
Blues have taken ten points from a possible twelve in the past week.
"We are in a good moment and we have to keep it up," said the Chelsea striker to the club's website. "Normally, November, December and January is the time of the season when you stay near the top or fall away.
"Last season we didn't perform in those months which made it difficult in the league, this season we are there, very close to the top and winning important games like Southampton away.
"The main thing is the work we have been doing; the manager has his style and we are adapting to what he wants us to do which takes some time.
"We have been improving, especially away from home, and you can see that in the table. It's no secret we are playing better, all the players are involved and this is the time of the year when there are a lot of games in all competitions."
