Having watched Chelsea’s Champions League draw this week he feels that Jose Mourinho’s side are showing their old form and still believes they will finish in the top four this season despite currently sitting in 12th place.

Slav saw them rovide a resilient performance against Dynamo Kiev and said: “It could be a good time to play them but it could be a dangerous time to play them.

Mourinho“They will be on their toes and motivated. They played a very good game against Kiev. I was impressed. It was like back to the old Chelsea we used to see regularly.

“They looked solid, like the old Chelsea from last year. They looked sharp. I watched the game and I wasn’t happy! Some of the players who had not been playing well looked good. They are Chelsea.

“I see still them finishing in the top four. They have done well the last couple of games. They won against Aston Villa – it wasn’t a beautiful game.

“He (Jose Mourinho) said afterwards they were getting back to basics. He didn’t care about ball possession and shots on target. He was pleased with the clean sheet. Things are definitely going to change for them. I just hope not on Saturday!”

Asked to explain Chelsea’s poor start to the season, Bilic explained: “That shows how football is. It is strange, weird.”

    Given what Slav’s done in recent weeks, I imagine that Cheslea Rovers will be expecting Sakho to start up front again, and set themselves accordingly. So, what if he send the Big Man out from the start? Get the ball down the wide areas and bombard the two centre backs with crosses…the pace we have in the side, will they be wondering what to do – go to the ball, or try and deal with Carroll?
