We need to give fans something positive: Chilwell charges Chelsea players ahead of last 5 games

This season has been a tough one for Chelsea as they dropped out of the top six on the EPL table.

Their performance this season has also seen them lose a spot in European tournament next season.

Despite bringing an interim manager in the person of Frank Lampard recently, their woes continue.

Having lost six games in a row for the first time in over 30 years, Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell believes the remaining weeks of the season are crucial as he charged his teammates.

He said via Chelsea website: ‘We are in a deep hole at the moment. To get ourselves out of it we need to stick together. There will be a lot of outside noise, but we need to stick together, train hard and coming into games show the effort the fans want to see.

‘That’s all we can focus on now: doing it for ourselves and importantly for the fans, giving them something positive in the last five games. They have stuck with us all season. We went over to clap them and they’re still there, so we really have to do it for them.

‘It’s pretty big going into next season. If we can get some results, show we’re a team and give the fans something to smile about, hopefully we can take that into pre-season.’
