Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has admitted that they are currently in the relegation battles.
The current Premier League have lost nine games out of 21 and currently sit in 14th position just six points above the relegation zone and 12 points off fourth place.
Hiddink says relegation is realistic and called on his players to step up.

“It's a very realistic view,” Chelsea interim boss said.
“Twelve points to fourth, that's Tottenham.
“We all like to look up to the top of the table but don't be unrealistic when you're six points off the relegation line. That's also a fact.
“We must work hard and be very concentrated and step up. That's why it was a pity about the 86th minute equaliser we conceded against West Brom.
“When I arrived, we started one point off the relegation line and now we have more room to breathe.
“We have two difficult games coming up. Everton, a very good away record, and then Arsenal. If you don't gather points, you don't know what the others do.”
