Wigan Athletic defender Mario Melchiot believes that his team will make Chelsea fight to win the Premier League on Sunday.
The Blues will clinch the title with a victory over the Latics at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but Melchiot has warned his former club that defeating Wigan is not as easy as it used to be for the big clubs.
With impressive victories Liverpool and Arsenal and Chelsea this season, Wigan has proven that they are capable of defeating the top teams in the Premier League.
“Last season, if the big boys like Chelsea, United and Arsenal were playing against teams below tenth spot in the league, they knew it wouldn’t be difficult,” Melchiot told The Mirror.
“Now it’s getting harder. They know now when they turn up and play against us that we can compete with them.
“That’s one of the good things for us from the season - and one of the harder things for them to take.
“You look at the teams we’ve beaten like Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and take all the stuff we’ve done. I think it’s looking really good for us.
“The Premier League has been very exciting this season. Everybody can beat each other and that’s a situation that’s developing all the time.”
Wigan handed the Blues their first Premier League loss of the season when they beat Chelsea 3-1 at the DW Stadium in September and will look to repeat that result and end their season on a high note.
Go Wigan Go!!!!
