Chelsea winger Dion Rankine is delighted with his current form.

The midfielder is preparing for today's U21 clash with Fulham.

He told the club's website: "It is a great feeling to score in back-to-back games but if I am honest the biggest factor is confidence and that has come from the manager's faith in me as well as my team-mates who have shown a lot of trust in me.

"We are playing a lot of good football right now and there is a tremendous energy around the group so hopefully we just carry that on through to the Fulham game and the rest of the season."

Meanwhile, Harvey Vale has returned from his loan at Hull City and he goes straight back into the development squad. The young midfielder played two Championship games for the the Tigers but injury sidelined the England U-20 captain for a large part of his time there.
