Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek says manager Maurizio Sarri needs more time to bring through his methods.

Loftus-Cheek defended Sarri and insisted the team are adjusting to his tactics.

He said: "I think you can definitely see at times that we play some really top, top football. The football is flowing and we create chances really easily when we're playing well.

"That's down to the manager and what he's tried to drill into us through the season.

"It's always difficult when a new manager comes in and you play a different formation with different tactics, but we've worked hard on it all season and at times you can see it coming out.

"It's only a matter of time before we really nail it and then we can play well game after game after game."
