Nemanja Matic has said that Chelsea have shown "good character" in their last three matches in the Premier League, which have all resulted in wins.
The league leaders can move 10 points clear at the top of the table if they beat Manchester United at Stamford Bridge later today.
"The last three games were very difficult and we showed we have good character and we showed lots of qualities," The Express quotes the defender as saying.
"The game is 90 minutes so if you score in the first minute or the last minute it doesn't matter, what matters is how many points you get from that game.
"Of course we always try to score early but it is not always possible, although especially early in the season we scored a lot of times in the first 10 minutes."
Chelsea have not lost at home in the league so far this season.
