Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca says there's "no reason to be negative", despite mounting pressure.
The West London club suffered at 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge to Brighton on September 27.
It means they have suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats with ten men.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was handed a straight red card five minutes into their clash with Manchester United.
Then against Brighton, Trevor Chalobah was sent off early in the second half.
But Maresca has reaffirmed the club remain positive.
"The only pressure is that being at Chelsea as a player or a manager you need to win games, there is no doubt, but the reality is that for different reasons, injury or red cards, we lost five games in six months. At the same time I think it is something that is not bad."

In their opening six games of the new season, Chelsea have won two, drawn two and lost two.
The manager was asked about fans chanting for former boss Jose Mourinho, and what can be done to get his name cheered from the stands.
"I would like one day for sure, but it's not my target. I am already happy if they can sing 'we have our Chelsea back' because that means that as a team and as a club we are doing something important."
Maresca said fans should be happy with their run of results, after winning the Club World Cup and having just five defeats in the last six months.
Chelsea are preparing for the second match in their UEFA Champions League campaign.
They suffered a 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on September 17.
The club will host Benfica next - and go against former boss Mourinho - on September 30.
Will the fans continue to chant for Mourinho on the night if Chelsea don't capitalise on the home advantage?
