The EPL defending Champions Chelsea are currently placed 13th on the log this season having lost nine games, drawn nine and won just seven of their 25 games played so far in the league.
Guus Hiddink’s men will clash against French champions Paris Saint-Germain at the same stage this month, having lost to the same team last season at this same stage, while they host Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Under the interim manager, The Blues have played nine games unbeaten, but have drawn six of those fixtures.
“We’ve had too many draws to climb the table. The Newcastle game is a very important one where we have to get the three points,” Courtois told the club’s website (www.chelseafc.com).
“After that we play in the Champions League and FA Cup against two great sides and we have to try to win those games because the only way to save our season is to reach the final in one or both of them.”
Despite the fact that Chelsea are 17 points away from fourth-placed Manchester City with 13 games left, Cesar Azpilicueta believes it is still possible for the team to make it to next season’s Champions League.
He said: “Obviously every time we don’t win and there is one game less, there is less chance to get into the top four. We will see where we are with five-six games in a row and see whether we can get there or not.”
“We are trying and will always try to make it. We also have the path of winning the Champions League (to qualify) and we have a tough game coming up against PSG. We will try both ways to get into the Champions League this season.”
