"We have players on the bench like Mikael Forsell who can come on and score great goals. Our non-starters are all excellent players who can make a big difference."
Dutch international Melchiot also feels that Jesper Gronkjaer and William Gallas have played a big part in Chelsea's recent good form, "Jesper Gronkjaer is in great form. He's playing with a freeness right now, taking players on and using his pace to beat defenders and that is great for the fans.
"William Gallas, too, is in top form. He's adapted quickly to the Premiership and been part of many clean sheets."
