The Stamford Bridge outfit are currently 13 points off Tottenham in fourth place approaching the season's halfway point.
And with caretaker manager Guus Hiddink in place, the Blues dropped yet more points on Boxing Day, drawing 2-2 with Watford at home.
But the Brazilian winger, whose goals have been a rare bright patch for Chelsea fans this season, believes Chelsea were unlucky on the day.
"I think we deserved to win," Willian said.
"We played well second half. Of course we were in a difficult moment in that half when Watford scored a second goal but we kept going, we kept fighting and then we scored.
"I am so sorry about Oscar. He was unlucky that moment when he went to shoot but in this game we showed our quality and we have to now keep going the same way.
"We have a big game on Monday and we have to go there to try to win the game."
Chelsea will now face Manchester United, who come into the game off the back of a dismal 2-0 defeat at Stoke, eager for redemption.
United like Chelsea, are under pressure, having lost three straight Premier League games now.
But the champions will be hoping for some of that famous new-manager bounce as Hiddink now has his feet under the desk in London.
And Willian particularly is excited to work with a manager he has been under before.
"I know him [Hiddink] from Anzhi in Russia and I like to work with him," added Willian.
"He is a nice guy and a good manager so now we have to learn from what he can pass on and he can explain.
"Now we have to rest and be ready for Monday. This situation is difficult for us but I think we can go and win game by game and finish the league in the top four."
