EPL: We can shock Chelsea by defeating them – Burnley manager Kompany

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany says he’s optimistic his team can upset Chelsea ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The Clarets boss, whose side are locked in a relegation battle, takes his team to Stamford Bridge.

During his news conference, the Belgian tactician stated that he’s confident Burnley can pull an upset against Chelsea.

“It is of that (cup final) importance, but I have to say for us the feeling has been like this already for a while. The Chelsea game you’re playing against a top team but its not a luxury game for us, they’re all-important games in terms of getting points from it.

“We saw the feeling that it gives you when you do achieve it. The West Ham game was unfortunate but in terms of where we’re at at the moment, we hope that we can keep getting results and building on from the last win.

“In tough times we’ve always remained strong, we’ve always kept a belief. So, all of a sudden when you have a win, I hope that kind of encourages that. We’re not really a team that’s too phased, we’re not a rollercoaster team, I don’t think.

“At least not emotionally. So, I feel pretty confident that win or lose, we’re always able to get back on track but it’s about winning at the moment and it’s the same again this weekend.”
