Andre Villas-Boas has said that he will not be panicked into making sweeping changes at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's poor form continued with a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa at home on New Year's Eve.
The Portuguese manager has insisted that he will not be making any drastic changes to his team's setup, despite heading into the New Year outside of the top four.
"I don't think so," said Villas-Boas when asked if his defence needed more protection.
"If there is something to correct, we need to regain that confidence in the way we build up from the back,
"It's an easy thing to solve with players of this technical ability."
Chelsea face Wolves at Molineux later on today.
