Cesar Azpilicueta: Chelsea must show we’re big team with strong response at Huddersfield

Standard Sport12 December 2017

Chelsea must respond to derby defeat at West Ham with a dominant victory at Huddersfield Town on Tuesday, defender Cesar Azpilicueta has said.

The Premier League champions suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the London Stadium that left them 14 points behind league-leaders Manchester City.

Spain international Azpilicueta has urged the London outfit to channel their disappointment into a performance worthy of a major club at John Smith's stadium.

"Big teams, after a defeat, we have to answer in a strong way," Azpilicueta told the club's website.

"We know it is a tough place. We have the character and hopefully we can get the three points.

"We are in December and we cannot think more than this. We have a tough game against Huddersfield, we will try to get the three points on the road and get back to winning ways and keep going, keep pushing."
