Chelsea winger Willian feels that the game against Sunderland will pose a challenge to the Blues, but insists the team will do their best to win when the two sides face each other at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho’s side are currently second in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Liverpool. With just four games to go, they will be hoping for the Reds to drop points, while they themselves will want maximum wins under their belt from their remaining fixtures.
Gus Poyet’s side held title-contenders Manchester City to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday, and will be hoping to stage another upset as they look to survive in the Premier League.
And Willian is wary of the Black Cats, who are still six points away from a safe spot.
