Chelsea star Willian refuses to give up on reaching top four

Chelsea star Willian has insisted that the team can qualify for a European place this season, despite being 13 points off the top four at the midway stage of the campaign.

Since Guus Hiddink replaced Jose Mourinho as manager at Stamford Bridge in December, the team are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games as they have won two and drawn two.

The reigning English champions are currently 14th in the standings, but Willian is confident that the team will surge up the table.

"I think we can get into a European position, let's see what's coming," Willian told the club's official website. "I have to improve every game and keep going."

Chelsea's next game is on Sunday at home to Scunthorpe United in the third round of the FA Cup.
