Willian has warned Manchester United Chelsea will be a different side when they travel to Old Trafford at the weekend.
Chelsea played a defensive game against Barcelona on Tuesday night, and performed brilliantly before a late mistake from Andreas Christensen gifted the Spaniards an away goal.
Barcelona enjoyed over 70 per cent of possession at Stamford Bridge during the 1-1 draw and Chelsea have another massive game against United on Sunday.
And Willian, Chelsea’s goalscorer against Barcelona, insisted his side fancy their chances against Jose Mourinho’s side.
‘We have confidence. We can go there and do a great job again against Manchester United,’ Willian told Sky Sports after the Barcelona game.
‘I think it’s going to be a different game from this one here [against Barcelona], but I think we can go there and win this game.
