The Spaniard who scored his first goal in the league against Reading on Wednesday insists Blues have a group of 'fantastic players'.
The Euro 2012 Golden Boot winner said: 'I'm feeling good, feeling sharp. I've only been back in training for less than a month but the team is showing that we can hopefully do big things this season.
'It's always important, particularly in the Premier League, to start picking up points as quickly as possible, because the top teams don't lose many matches or drop too many points, so I think it's very good for us that we're top of the table after our first two games.
'We need to be in the top few positions when it comes to December and January, and to do that we need to keep picking up points.
'Saturday against Newcastle will be a very tough game. They proved last season what a good team they are, and it's the first real big test of the season for us.
'Players like [Juan] Mata, Hazard and Oscar are fantastic, and for a striker such as myself, it's a real privilege to play alongside them and I'm just trying to enjoy it.'
