John Terry Wants Return To Winning Ways

John Terry has called on his side to get back to winning ways after being toppled from the top of the Premier League after a string of poor result.

Chelsea could only manage a point at the weekend while they were held by Newcastle for a 1-1 draw and they failed to pick any points up the weekend before as they fell to Birmingham.

Manchester United have overtaken the champion at the top of the league and are now two points clear on thirty one.

Chelsea find themselves tied for second with London rivals Arsenal, only goal difference keeping them ahead.

The London club face Everton this weekend as they try to get their Premier League campaign back on track.

Speaking to Sky Sports Terry said: "We have dropped too many points recently. Looking back only two or three weeks ago we were so many points clear and in the goal difference as well. Now both gaps have been closed.

"We need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later. I think we have played well the last couple of games and on another day three or four may have gone in.

"At times you need to work hard and push for your luck. It's not going to be given to you in life and sometimes you need to make your own if it's not happening for you.

"We have been a bit unfortunate with a couple of goals we have let in as well. I think overall defensively, midfield and attack, we've not been as good as we should have been. That's because we set our standards so high and started the season so well."

Terry has been out of action for the last three weeks as he has struggled with a nerve problem in his legs but should return this weekend.
