Frank Lampard has urged his Chelsea team-mates to use the "nice memories" from their recent perfect record at Bolton to inspire them to a first away win for almost three months on Monday night.
The Blues travel to the Reebok Stadium having just emerged from their worst run in the Barclays Premier League for almost 15 years.
Back-to-back wins over Ipswich and Blackburn - their first since November - have begun to undo the damage caused by one league victory in nine.
Confidence remains fragile at Stamford Bridge, however, and the champions have not won on their travels since October.
On paper, Bolton look the ideal opponents in their bid to end that drought, with Chelsea having won all seven of their games at the Reebok in the Roman Abramovich era, without conceding a goal.
They also clinched their first title in half a century at the stadium back in 2005 and romped to a 4-0 victory there last season.
Lampard, who is hoping to shake off a calf injury in time for Monday night's clash, has played in all of Chelsea's last seven Reebok successes, scoring four times.
"For the players who have been there in those days - and also last season we had a good result there winning 4-0 - you do kind of get a good feeling about a ground," said the England midfielder.
"It doesn't mean anything on the day of the game but it is nice in the preparation.
"Let's just hope we can take that sort of confidence, nice memories and good feeling back there - along with the fact that we have won our last two games pretty well - and put it into practice."
However, the 32-year-old added: "Although we have got a good record at Bolton, they notoriously give us a tough game.
"They stick the ball in the box and it is important to always make sure you score first against them because once they get up of a head of steam, they do put pressure on you as a team."
Chelsea will have no shortage of opportunities to improve their poor away record in the coming weeks, with Monday's game the first of a hat-trick of road trips for last season's double winners.
An FA Cup fourth-round clash at Everton follows, then a league game at Sunderland.
Indeed, with the Champions League due to resume next month, only one of Chelsea's next six games is at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard said: "With Everton in the FA Cup thrown in between the Bolton and Sunderland games, it is a big period of away games and it is a test of strength and character to go up north.
"The league games are evening games as well and it will be a chance to show that we are on our way back because we need to keep the run going, not that it is a long run of wins yet.
"We need to make it a long run of wins."
There will be an added poignancy to Monday's night's game, which is Bolton's first at home since the death of the legendary Nat Lofthouse.
As well as a minute's silence, Wanderers are planning a video tribute to the former England striker, who is widely regarded as their greatest ever player.
Lofthouse's achievements have not be lost on Lampard, who may one day enjoy such accolades himself at Chelsea.
He told his club's official website, www.chelseafc.com: "Nat Lofthouse obviously played way before my time but I grew up knowing his name and knowing about his football.
"It deservedly should be a big occasion for him on Monday."
