With five Premier League fixtures remaining, a disappointing run of results for the Blues has left us pursuing those above us in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Rosenior believes reeling in the clubs above us is not an insurmountable task, with our head coach outlining that it will require plenty of belief, commitment and fight from his team. A focus on what we can control, rather than the distraction of results elsewhere, is also paramount.

‘The first thing is we can't be looking to other teams or other results, we have to look to ourselves. That's what you have to do,’ he explained.

‘It's easy to say these words, but it’s about belief and keeping the faith. The way you do that is you work as hard as you can, with as much quality as you possibly can, and you turn things around.

‘It's about character now; it's about standing up. It's about people who are willing, in difficult moments, to stand up for the shirt and fight. That's what I'm looking for tomorrow.

‘But I believe in them, and I believe that we can come through this period so much stronger, but we have to get this part right now.’

The Blues currently sit sixth in the top-flight table, seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool. Yet we still have to visit Anfield before the season comes to a close, and Rosenior insists his side must be ready to strike if an opportunity to move back into the Champions League qualification positions opens up.

‘To take it as far as we possibly can has to be the aim,' Rosenior added. 'The only way you do that is to focus on the next game. We need to go into the Brighton game with the mentality to go and win.’
