Loic Remy has insisted that the atmosphere within the Chelsea team is "really positive" despite dropping points in their last two Premier League fixtures.

Jose Mourinho's side remain at the top of the league table, but they are level on points with Manchester City following a 1-1 draw with Southampton and a 5-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues got back to winning ways in the FA Cup third round when Remy contributed to the scoring in a 3-0 triumph over Watford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"The mood is really positive and we're still focused on all of our targets," Remy told the club's official website. "During the season every team will be in trouble at certain times, so for us I hope it's behind us now with the last two league games. The players are still happy. Against Watford we deserved the win and we showed we can react.

"We're still top of the league, we've qualified for the next round in the FA Cup so there is no reason to be negative. We are a strong squad, a lot can happen during the season but we are just focused on winning games."

Chelsea will face Newcastle United at home on Saturday in the league.
