John Terry | Captain John Terry has called on his team-mates to build on their record-breaking away form and make Stamford Bridge a fortress once again.
Chelsea are undefeated on their travels this season and racked up a Premier League record of 10 successive away wins when they defeated West Brom 3-0 last weekend.
But the goalless draw with Newcastle on Saturday meant Luiz Felipe Scolari's side have now dropped nine points at home.
Home draws with Tottenham, Manchester United and Newcastle allied to Liverpool's victory have left Chelsea on top of the Premier League summit by virtue of a better goal difference than the Merseysiders.
Terry knows the picture could have been much rosier but since Liverpool ended their 86-match unbeaten home league run, they have gone out of the Carling Cup to Burnley and then stuttered again against Joe Kinnear's Newcastle.
Now he wants them to rediscover the form that made Stamford Bridge such a fearsome place for opposing sides. "We've learned that successful teams go on big runs," said Terry.
"We've put together an away Premier League run but it is nowhere near enough.
"This week we must start the next home run to build on our away success.
"At the end of the week we face Arsenal at home if we win that, we can inflict real damage on their challenge for the title.
"Just because we've lost our home record and gone out of the Carling Cup is no reason to get too concerned about home form.
"I think our best display of the season was when we beat Aston Villa at the Bridge. More of that and we'll set a new home record."
