Ben Elliott is pleased with his form for Chelsea's U21s.

The midfielder has discussed on why he believes he has been playing so well.

"It is a good environment right now within the group and I am enjoying my football so much," the 19-year-old told Chelsea's website ahead of yesterday's 3-3 draw with Manchester United.

"I have the trust and freedom of the coaching staff to express myself and I feel that. Then obviously the trust that my team-mates show me has helped to accelerate my progress.

"There has been a lot of unit training that has been done with me so I am gaining a better understanding of what is required on a game-to-game basis."
