Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount insists they can still finish in the top four this season because the race for Champions League places is very open."

Chelsea are stuck in 11th place after six games and they are yet to win at Stamford Bridge under Frank Lampard's reign this season.

Mount said: Look at the table, how many good teams there are - it's very open and obviously we are looking to secure that top position so we just need to keep working hard. We know how difficult this league is.

We need to stay concentrated and switched on. We need to keep working hard and hopefully build these three points.

Of course [we need to win at home], but if you look at the games we have had we can take positives from every game we have had. We need to win games at home, that's a big focus.

We are doing well away and now the focus is building that fortress at home and when teams come here they know it will be a tough game.

"We are going through a spell when we are getting little bits here and there wrong and we are getting punished for it. So I think we have always got to stay positive.

We are positive straight after the game, focusing now on our next two games, at home and wanting to win them. Look, they are difficult games, but I think once you get that first home win and get that momentum building, then hopefully we can carry that on."
