Cesar Azpilicueta has challenged Chelsea to shrug off their "disappointing" Leicester defeat and set their season back on track.
Blues captain Azpilicueta bemoaned Saturday's 1-0 home Premier League loss to the Foxes, which leaves Maurizio Sarri's side in fourth place 11 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Jamie Vardy's goal condemned the Blues to a defeat that proved a missed opportunity to close ground on second-placed Manchester City, who slipped to a shock 3-2 home loss to Crystal Palace.
Spain defender Azpilicueta wants Chelsea to bounce back immediately though, in their Boxing Day trip to Watford.
"It's really disappointing, but we don't have another option, this game is finished; we have to analyse and improve the mistakes we made, to carry on the things we did well," said Azpilicueta.
"And we have two away games before the turn of the year and hopefully we can get the points, because we need them.
"We are really disappointed with the result, it's true we had chances to score a goal and to win the game.
"But the truth is they were efficient, and they held their lead after scoring until the end."
