Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta is worried teams no longer worry about travelling to Stamford Bridge to face his team.
Reality has begun to bite for Frank Lampard’s Blues in recent weeks, with home defeats to West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton.
Chelsea have struggled to create chances at home against teams employing a low block and compressing space in midfield – and the Spanish international can see the fear factor ebbing away.
“It’s true that when teams see we have not won games, they come here with more confidence because they see they can do it,” he said.
