Chelsea players are confident of finding a winning consistency this season.
Since last lifting the trophy in 2010, Chelsea have tended to reach this stage of the campaign trailing by a much larger margin and defender Branislav Ivanovic believes it's a reason to remain positive.
He said: "We have learned from the last couple of years that we need to try to be at our top level every game. I think the season will be like the last two - very long for us. There will be a lot of difficult games and moments but we have to stay strong."
