Blues have returned to their best, says keeper
Petr Cech has warned Chelsea's title rivals that The Blues are back at full power following their 6-0 thrashing of Manchester City.
Avram Grant's side endured a difficult month in September, but have been back at their best over the past four fixtures.
"The last four games we have played great, we have won them and not conceded," Cech told MF Dnes. "We went through a dark spell in September but now we are back. Chelsea are a big power."
Clean sheets
Cech, who reached a century of Premier League appearances on Saturday, kept his 58th clean sheet in the English league against Sven Goran Eriksson's City.
"It's very nice. The Premier League is extremely tough and to have 58 per cent success is a really great result," the Czech Republic international goalkeeper said.
"It's like strikers trying to score goals, I hate if I concede a goal, and especially in that game, it would have been a pity if we spoiled the score."
Problems forgotten
Cech believes his Chelsea team-mates have got over the sudden departure of Jose Mourinho, saying: "Once you are winning, all the problems are forgotten. We are okay."
Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League, five points behind Arsenal and Manchester United, and Cech is delighted with the turnaround.
He added: "It is important that we climb the table. We are already within sight of Manchester United and Arsenal and we are prepared to cut the margin completely.
"The objective is clear - we must be winning and winning as we have already lost a lot of points."
