Southgate looking forward to Chelsea encounter

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is looking forward to the match against Chelsea, but admits his side should have no chance of beating the Blues.

“We have got to accept that Chelsea keep the ball better than the teams we have played so far this season,” Southgate told Sky Sports News.

“They have got some special players but if we stand there and admire them they will have a field day so we have to make sure we give them one hell of a game.

“We had a spell last year where we went a long period without a win and we ended that by beating Arsenal, so we know we are capable of winning any game we go into and we have probably dealt with the recent spell a bit better.

“They [Chelsea] are an outstanding team and by rights we should have no chance, but football on any given day doesn’t work out like that and we are capable of producing performances.”
