Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa delighted with personal form

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is pleased with his form.

The Blues have kept clean sheets in three of our four home matches since the season restart after Christmas, with Kepa starring in all of those.

It was a hard-fought draw with Marco Silva's Fulham on Friday, although the goalkeeper explained why he wasn't pleased with just the one point.

"We wanted to win and we were playing in front of our fans," said Kepa to the club's website. "We are building and getting to know each other. It was not an easy game, but a lot of new players is not an excuse, we have to win. We need wins because we are midtable, we want to be at the top.

"Personally, I am feeling good and happy, with a lot of confidence. At least if we keep a clean sheet it is a point. Every player is running a lot and covering spaces and pressing, so it is the work of 11 players, not just me.

"It's a big game against West Ham next week. We have all of the week to prepare for it and we'll go there for a win, for the three points because we need it."
