Terry fit and ready for title fight - but warns Chelsea are facing must-win trip to Liverpool

19 January 2009 10:07
Rallying cry: Chelsea captain John Terry The defender pulled out of the 2-1 victory against Stoke on Saturday during the warm-up after feeling discomfort in his back but the problem is not serious and he will be available for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie at home to Ipswich on Saturday. However, the 27-year-old is already looking ahead to the Liverpool game, with Chelsea having picked up just one point in four games against the other members of the big four this season. He said: 'We haven’t been playing well enough to win the Premier League. As a group of players we’ve not been good enough of late. Results haven’t been good enough home or away. 'We’ve got to, and can, put together a string of results from now to the end of the season, but we’ll need to win at Liverpool.' Chelsea would have suffered another huge blow if they hadn’t scored twice in the last six minutes to come from behind to beat Stoke. Frank Lampard, who scored the winner in the fourth minute of injury time, believes the result could turn their season around. He said: 'There are always pivotal moments in seasons where you think that changed something there and hopefully this can be that. This could be a turning point as long as we follow through with it.'   More...
