Thibaut Courtois says Chelsea are not safe from the relegation scrap

 

The reigning champions currently sit four places and just three points above the drop zone after a disastrous first half of the season.

And Courtois says the Blues, who drew 0—0 at Manchester United tonight, are not safe from relegation, but is confident his side can start picking up points under Guus Hiddink.

 

On Chelsea's chances of staying up, Courtois said: “You cannot think it’s not possible to get relegated, but we look forward, and we think that soon we will get the winning flow.”

On the result at Old Trafford, the Belgian added: “They wanted to win in front of their fans. From the start they put high pressure on us.

“Without a striker, it wasn’t easy for us to find depth but we had chances and David [De Gea] played well. The team showed progression, which was good.

“It’s a pity Matic doesn’t score. It’s more difficult for us than last year, but I think we are getting into a flow to win games.”
