Oscar and his Brazil team-mates face Ecuador at 2am on Wednesday

He says they have been switching positions for the good of the team

And Oscar believes the similarities of the two make them great partners

But the pair started the Blues' opening two games together

There was talk he could replace Oscar as Chelsea's chief playmaker

Chelsea playmaker Oscar has praised Cesc Fabregas' impact at Stamford Bridge - and already feels his partnership with the Spaniard can guide Chelsea to the Premier League title.

Fabregas arrived in a £30million deal from Barcelona this summer and was seen by some as a replacement for Oscar in attacking midfield - but instead the pair started Chelsea's two opening games together before the Brazilian missed out at Everton through injury.

And Oscar is already pleased with the way things are going, holding the belief that the similarity between himself and Fabregas makes them the perfect partnership to power Chelsea's midfield.

'Maybe it’s the way Fabregas plays,' Oscar told Chelsea magazine.

'He plays very similarly to me – but we have worked very well together in the first games of this season and we also get on very well. He came into the team and immediately he fitted in very well.

'Coming deeper to get the ball is something that I’ve always done, but it is also something that the manager likes me to do and, in the same way, Fabregas and Willian also do it.

'We have been switching positions a lot and we hope to perfect that as the season goes on because it has been working very well for the team.'

Chelsea have won all three of their opening games in the Premier League and this weekend come up against the league's only other side boasting a 100 per cent record - Swansea.

But Oscar believes that even after an international break that sees him and Brazil team-mates play against Ecuador in Rio de Janerio at 2am UK time on Wednesday, the Blues will be ready to resume their title charge when they return to action at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

'I think that we are looking very good at the moment. All the players are at a high level, but now we have to continue playing well because every one of us wants to win the Premier League this season.'
