Barclays English Premier League

Torres hitting form

Fernando Torres is approaching the sort of form for Chelsea that made him a fans' favourite at Liverpool, according to his current manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Torres heads into Sunday's Premier League match against his former club at Stamford Bridge having convinced his manager he is over his initial difficulties in adjusting to a new team and surroundings.
The Spain international was quoted during the international break as saying his move to London from Liverpool was difficult because the city was too big to manage and there was a lack of fellow Spanish speakers at Chelsea.
Torres last scored a goal in the Premier League almost two months ago, but his progress has been hampered by a three-match suspension following a red card against Swansea on September 24.
But Villas-Boas believes his forward has improved greatly from last season, when he struggled for form following a £50million transfer from Anfield last January.
"I think Fernando has, of course, picked up from last season not only with his form, physically, but also his availability and movement for the team," said Villas-Boas.
"He is back to his old sharpness and goal-scoring form. We're pretty happy with the way he's performed.
"We just have to make a decision on our front-line, but Fernando will always be in contention."
Liverpool head into the game three points shy of Chelsea, who are in fourth place in the Premier League table.
And Villas-Boas pointed to the large investment in players made by Liverpool's owners as evidence that they should be regarded as contenders for the Premier League title.
Liverpool have not won a league title since 1990, but have spent over £100million this calendar year, bringing in the likes of Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing.
