Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino admits that his team must put in a good showing at the weekend.

The Blues are taking on Fulham in a London derby before their mini Premier League break.

Pochettino's side are reeling after losing the Carabao Cup semi final first leg to Middlesbrough.

Speaking about Fulham, the Argentine coach stated: It's a different game [to reverse fixture]. They are in a very good moment. We didn't perform badly against Middlesbrough and we came from a few victories.

We are 1-0 down, but we need to keep the belief. I think the team is feeling well and we are confident for tomorrow. I am so sure we are going to do a very good job."

On the importance of the Premier League, he added: Every single game should be a priority for us. We need to play every game like a final. It is difficult to be consistent and play the same every game, but we need to try.

Of course, some situations we didn't expect that happened that made the situation more difficult. We are going to do everything to perform, create a solid team performance. In the time, we are going to be very successful, no doubt."
