John Terry has said that the club's poor run of form is not a crisis and it is merely an bad run of form. Chelsea’s recent run of form is in stark contrast to their blistering start to the season and Terry admits his side have gone through a slump.

John Terry said: “We’re going through a bad spell.

“But Man United didn’t start too well, Arsenal had a blip and lost at home to teams we wouldn’t expect them to and hopefully this will be the end of our blip.

“We just need to go on a good run again and now would be the perfect time with Tottenham, Man United and Arsenal coming up.

“We’ve got big players here who are prepared to rise to the challenge and put their necks on the line." With Petr Cech and Yuri Zhirkov due back soon, Chelsea have a chance to get back to winning ways soon.
