Chelsea defender Cahill: We now know how to beat smaller clubs

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has declared they've learned how to beat the smaller clubs.

Cahill claims they proved they have learned their lesson after cruising to victory over Burnley and Leicester.

He said: "They were two tough games against teams that have just come up.

"We slipped up last season in games which people expected us to take points from but the Premier League isn't as easy as that, you have to fight every time you take to the field.

"We've added to our squad, we know where we slipped up last year, so the first two games have been very important for us. Other teams have also strengthened so it's going to be very tough.

"We know the expectation level at the club; we always expect to be in and around there but the Premier League is very difficult."
