Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas insists he's 'in a great moment' despite a recent slump in form.
The Spaniard moved to Stamford Bridge for £25million in June and racked up 15 assists by mid-January, scoring twice, but has since failed to add to his goal tally and set up just one goal in 11 appearances across all competitions.
But Jose Mourinho has maintained faith in Fabregas, who has missed just a handful of games this season after a hamstring injury ruled him out during February.
The 27-year-old has made 37 starts for the Blues this term and has vowed to push hard for league honours as the club look to cap a 'great year' with double trophy success.

He said: "I am going through a great moment, both personally and athletic. I have no reason not to be happy. I enjoy everything that happens to me.
"I am practically playing every minute for my team and that’s what makes me happy. To be important is fundamental. Now we have to fight hard for the Premier League to end a great year.
"I do not think I’ve lost my place in the team because I’ve never been undisputed, the important thing is the team and if the coach does not put you, it is because they are better."
