​Cahill looking for Chelsea response after disappointing opening game

Gary Cahill admits Chelsea are already facing two key games in their title defence following a fortunate 2-2 home draw against Swansea on Saturday.

The Blues must regroup as they head into matches at Manchester City and West Brom knowing they have a lot of improving to do.

Cahill said: "We've got two tough away games now. We always have difficult games at West Brom and Man City. We've got two massive games coming up. Swansea was not an ideal start. It feels like two points dropped but they made it tough for us. We played with 10 men for a long period of the game, so it was difficult. I feel a bit flat. We need to keep going, keep digging in and make sure we get results."
