Romeu aiming to cement place

The 20-year-old Spaniard has started the last four games for the Blues, who won three of those games by 3-0 scorelines. Now Romeu, who joined from Barcelona in August, is hoping to continue his good run by helping Chelsea end Manchester City's unbeaten start to the Premier League season on Monday. "The City game is a great chance to show everyone what we can do when we are playing well, against the league leaders," he told the Express. "If we win, it will prove that we are still fighting for the league. "I came (to Chelsea) because there was more chance of playing and to be playing in games of this magnitude, against Valencia and against Manchester City, is a marvel. "I really like the style here. I liked watching it on TV before and I like it even more now, playing in it. It is a different kind of football - more physical, with more contact and quicker." Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a move for Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou. The Ivorian has struggled to nail down a first-team place, and is out of contract at the end of the season. Chelsea have offered the 26-year-old a new deal but he is believed to be waiting for assurances he will receive more game time.
