Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech admits their trip to Blackburn Rovers looms as a must-win game.
Chelsea have a chance to apply some pressure to Manchester City when they travel to Blackburn on Saturday, with their opponents' match at QPR not kicking-off until later that afternoon.
Cech said: "Blackburn could be a real turning point for us because it is a difficult place to go all the time.
"We had two results we didn't wish for, which was the loss against Arsenal and the draw to Genk.
"But the best way to forget about this is to win games.
"We can't afford to drop many points in the Premier League because we are already behind."
