Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa: We're unhappy with our form and our games

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga says they must fight-back today against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea host Palace having lost at Fulham last week.

"We are not happy, of course we are not happy with the last games and the last form," Kepa told Chelsea's website.

"We are Chelsea, we have to fight to win every game, to be at the top, to fight for titles and right now we are far. So we are on it. We are fully focused and we are all in the same direction, the staff, the club, the players. Sometimes you need some time, some little click to start again. We will hopefully get that soon."

Kepa continued: "Of course it's not easy when you have injuries, players coming in, coming out.

"It is difficult because when you have a full squad you have more options, you have fresh legs to play the second half. They come on and change the games. But it is what it is and we have to take it, we have to manage it and try to get to our best.

"We have brilliant players in the squad, we have big quality. It's true we have a lot of injuries but we have to keep going.

"I think it is a little bit like life," the 28-year-old points out. "You have ups and downs. You have good moments, you have other ones that are not that good. But you have to keep going and go past this bad moment and be strong mentally."
