Cesar Azpilicueta has admitted morale at Chelsea is low due to their three-match winless run.
The Premier League champions, since winning impressively at Atletico Madrid last month, have lost successive league games to Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Azpilicueta described the battling point in Wednesday's 3-3 Champions League draw with Roma as "big", and the Spanish defender wants a win against Watford in the Premier League on Saturday - live on Sky Sports Premier League - to boost confidence.
"The mood at the moment is not the best," Azpilicueta told the London Evening Standard.
"It's true that we are not in our best moment. We came into the game after two consecutive defeats in the Premier League.
"We had the game in our hands when we were 2-0 up, but we also had it lost when we were 3-2 down."
Eden Hazard's second goal of the season earned the draw against the Serie A side, which ensured Chelsea avoided three straight losses for the first time in Antonio Conte's stewardship.
The Blues lead Group C by two points from Roma ahead of the reverse fixture at the Stadio Olimpico on October 31.
Azpilicueta added: "We managed to get a point, we are top of the group and we will keep fighting.
"To come back into the game to get a point (against Roma) is big for the team, to show the character and that we won't give up.
"But the reality is that we have gone three games without a win and we will try to get back to winning ways on Saturday."
Chelsea's trip to Rome is followed by Manchester United's visit to Stamford Bridge on November 5.
