Chelsea chase perfect 10 at struggling Sunderland as Premier League sees midweek action
Manager David Moyes says he knows the Blacks Cats have their limitations and will have their work cut out against the top side
Sunderland manager David Moyes said after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Swansea that he knows his side’s limitations and they are likely to be just as apparent when Premier League leaders Chelsea visit on Thursday morning (Hong Kong time).
The evening match at the Stadium of Light pits the basement side against title-chasing opponents seeking their 10th successive win.
Sunderland, who have lost 10 of their 15 matches, plunged back to the bottom after the Liberty Stadium trouncing and must now try and take something from opponents who have conceded only two goals in their last nine league games.
“We know our limitations, know what we’ve got and we know it’s going to be a tough job to see it through. We’ve known that and not kidded anyone otherwise,” said Moyes after Saturday’s defeat ended a run of three wins in four games.
“We had a good run there, but we’ll have to do that three or four times this season if we are to make sure we keep ourselves in this league.
