Sunderland will end Chelsea's unbeaten run, says Poyet

Thegoalmac understands that Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has urged his players to cause an upset and inflict Chelsea's first loss of the Premier League season.
They are six points clear at the top of the table and travel to Sunderland for their next assignment on Saturday.

Do you think Sunderland have got what it takes to stop Chelsea from scoring and also score them this weekend? Read what confident Poyet said after the cut.

"If you win every game, you get stronger and you get that feeling in the team that you can play badly and still win and at least get a draw," the Uruguayan told the press.

"But the next team is the one who has the opportunity to stop them somehow and everybody is going to want to take that chance - and now the opportunity is for us."

Poyet, who was also realistic about the "challenge" of playing Chelsea, does not believe that Mourinho has set his side the target of going through the season undefeated.

"There are plenty of games to go," he added. "I don't believe the aim for Chelsea right now is to not lose a game.

"I think it is to win every trophy and if they need to lose one or two games. I don't think they are going to be too bothered about it."
