Chelsea News: Cahill explains what Man Utd loss has done to the squad
REUTERS Gary Cahill says Manchester United defeat was a kick up the backside
Chelsea slipped to a surprise 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford, which saw Tottenham close the gap on the Premier League leaders to just four points. But Cahill is confident Chelsea will respond with a win over Southampton in their next league outing, just like they did against Manchester City and Bournemouth when they lost to Crystal Palace earlier this month. Before Chelsea face Southampton next Tuesday, the Blues take on Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday (5.15pm).

The 31-year-old defender told the Evening Standard: "That defeat has given us all a kick up the backside. "We know the league is not over, that it will be difficult, but we know we are more than capable of doing it. I certainly think we can win our last six league games. "We just need to come back from this now. We need to lean on the experience we have in the dressing room and the players that have been through all this before.
