Where confidence levels are concerned you win the first game (against West Brom) and everyone is looking forward to the Chelsea game now," he told Sky Sports News.

"I'm not getting ahead of myself and saying we'll win the game or even get something from it, but we're confident.

"We can look forward to the game rather than fear it."
