Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca wants to turn the team’s fortunes around after dropping points in their last two Premier League matches, ahead of Tuesday’s home game against Bournemouth.

Chelsea are determined to end 2025 on a high, after dropping points in their last two Premier League matches. Manager Enzo Maresca emphasized the importance of finishing the year well, ahead of Tuesday’s home game against Bournemouth.

“We need to win games as soon as possible,” Maresca said, acknowledging the tough competition in the Premier League. Chelsea are currently fifth, 13 points behind leaders Arsenal.

Maresca was pleased with his team’s first-half performance against Aston Villa, where they dominated possession and didn’t allow a shot on target. “We need to be confident,” he said, hoping to close the gap with top teams.

Villa’s comeback win highlighted Chelsea’s vulnerability after conceding a goal. “We need to understand why… we lose control a little bit,” Maresca added, seeking solutions.

Chelsea’s recent dip has seen them drop points against tough opponents. Maresca’s focus is on turning things around against Bournemouth.

“We’re all aware of the situation,” Maresca said, emphasizing the team’s determination to bounce back. Chelsea’s Club World Cup win earlier this year showed their potential.
