Poyet wants Sunderland players to be tested by Chelsea's Hazard

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet wants his players to get another shot at Chelsea star Eden Hazard in their Capital One Cup clash.

A fortnight ago, the Belgian international destroyed the Black Cats with a dazzling display, scoring twice and setting up another goal in the visitors' thrilling 4-3 win.

Poyet wants no repeat on this occasion.

"I may make a call to Jose telling him not to play Edin after what happened last time," he joked.

"In another way, it would be nice to see him playing and us sorting him out, marking him well and ensuring he is not the outstanding player he was then.

"That would be the challenge for us,."
