Chelsea boss eyes winning December

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas wants to see his players at their best for the month of December, as the Blues prepare for two crucial Premier League games with Man City and Newcastle in the coming 2 weeks.

Sandwiched between those two fixtures will be a Champions League tie with Valencia, as Chelsea attempt to rescue their position in the European showpiece.


"For our Premier League to be alive we need to make the most of the December games," said the Portuguese boss.


Chelsea know defeat to Man City and Newcastle will probably end their title ambitions.


"In the Champions League this standard won't be enough," stated Villas-Boas.


"We need to up the game and play with the ultimate desire.


"In this period we have games against Newcastle, Manchester City and Tottenham and if we are able to do that then we can get it back on track."
