Olivier Giroud urges Chelsea squad to "stick together"

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has urged his squad to "stick together" through their poor recent run of form.

The pressure in recent weeks has piled on boss Maurizio Sarri following the Blues' poor away form.

Most recently, they had a 6-0 hiding at the hands of Manchester City - but before that a 4-0 loss at Bournemouth.

Giroud is refusing to write off Chelsea's season as a whole, with his side in FA Cup action on Monday night against Manchester United.

The French striker gave his new boss a helping hand on Thursday night, scoring in their 2-1 win over Malmo in the Europa League.

"I have always had to deal with pressure all throughout my career," Giroud explained.

"I played big games with my clubs, the national team, and in these kinds of moments you need to stick together and think collectively with togetherness and be positive.

"We are not in the best position, but we have big games to come. We want to qualify in every single competition, so United is going to be a massive game.

"We need momentum and to keep going that way, so we are looking forward to it.

"We are not worried about the situation and I am sure Man United will drop points (in the league). We are confident and we want to carry on with a good spirit and humility."
