Sunderland's Johnson eyeing Chelsea scalp

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has his fingers crossed that his team can produce a positive result against Chelsea this weekend.

The Black Cats, currently in 14th position on the table, take on the Premier League leaders at the Stadium of Light on Saturday night and Johnson is targeting a victory over the yet to be defeated Blues.

"It's going to be a difficult game against Chelsea but we've been strong and we have always done well against the big teams, so hopefully that will continue," he told the club's official website.

"We got massive wins against the top teams last season when we needed them, so if we can carry that momentum and pick up points it would be great for us."
