Slaven Bilic is refusing to worry about the fcture list beyond Sunderland at the weekend which may be the toughest of the season.

The manager made it clear in his presser ahead of the match agaisnt the Black Cats: ““I know the schedule, but I know also that all we think about is the next game. It’s always the same in any schedule.

“I know we have Chelsea, Everton and Stoke, and it’s going to be extremely difficult, but then it was going to be difficult against Crystal Palace who are on fire on their home ground. We did it. So we are positive.

“We know that if we play as we played there, we know we have a chance.”
