Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has told his players they have his "total trust".

Pochettino leads Chelsea to Aston Villa tonight in their FA Cup Fourth Round replay.

He said: "I was very disappointed because the way that we lost the game, the way that we performed, wasn't the plan or the way that we wanted to compete. We need to keep going because we cannot lose the focus only because of two defeats, when 10 days before we were saying after Aston Villa we deserved to win and were competing really well.

"So of course we are disappointed but knowing that in football this type of thing happens, and more in a club like Chelsea now where we are doing things that are different to the past. To be consistent is the most difficult thing now.

"In this type of moment – living in a situation that is not nice – we can learn. It's a good opportunity to lean. I told the players today in the meeting, I trust in them more than ever, and I'm going to support them more than ever.

"I need to reflect in every single action my trust and we really trust the players that we have. We are going to face this moment knowing we can bounce back and start to win games."
