Former Croatia international Stanic told the FA website, "It is going to be difficult for everyone, not only for me, as there are only 11 players in a team and we have a big squad of 23 or 24 players, so it is going to be difficult as actually we have two teams.

"But I have to look forward and I have to believe in myself like always and I am sure that my chance is going to come and then I have to be there and not be injured.

"Everyone is talking about Chelsea. We have good quality new players and I think that with the new players, what we have now is that we can fight for the Premier League.

"It's not going to be easy, you know sometimes it is not the money that guarantees whether you are going to win the League, but when you have quality."
