Dembele said: "I'm on a good run, but in terms of confidence, I would say I would be confident even if I wasn't scoring.
"I believe in the squad. I just work as hard as I can and I think the little break in Dubai has made us stronger. We have to stay focused and keep producing the same football until the season is completely over."
