SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING

Wayne Rooney believes that the size of Chelsea's squad may not be as useful as it seems.

"The only real difference between the two clubs is that they have spent millions on players and some of those are sitting on the bench, whereas we haven't quite spent the amounts they have," said the 21-year-old.

"We said before the season having those players on the sidelines could unsettle them a little bit.

"We have young players on the bench, we are gelling together well and that can only be good for us."
