Malouda urges fan support

Chelsea winger Florent Malouda believes that the Blues will need all the support from their fans as they head into a decisive Champions League clash against Valencia.

The Blues will be out of the elite competition unless they defeat the Spanish outfit at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

"We have done a big mistake [losing] in Germany against Leverkusen and we have to correct that at home in front of our fans," Malouda told Sky Sports News. "We want to have our fans behind us. That is what we need at the moment.

"We don't think about defeat. We have a positive way of thinking. What we are looking for is a victory to qualify. Every time we start a game it is to win, so we are not thinking about this scenario."

The London side go into the European battle on the back of a 3-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League.
