Everton players in training
Leader of the pack: David Moyes puts his players through their paces ahead of their FA Cup showdown against Chelsea at Wembley

Chelsea don't scare us, warns Steven Pienaar

29 May 2009


Everton have nothing to fear from "human" Chelsea in the FA Cup Final according to winger Steven Pienaar.

The South African is expected to play in the showcase fixture after recovering from the hamstring problem he picked up against Fulham on the last day of the League season.

And although Chelsea are heavily favoured to win their fifth FA Cup at the expense of David Moyes's men, Pienaar is staying philosophical about the threat the Blues pose.

He said: "The belief is there that we can win because, at the end of the day, we are playing against 11 human beings. It is Chelsea and they are a great team with good players everywhere but nothing is impossible and we will see at the final whistle what is the final result.

"In each and every FA Cup game this season we have put a double shift in and we hope we will do the same in the final but it will be tough because they are one of the best teams in England."
