Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has insisted that the squad can deal with any pressure that is put on them this season.

The Blues are expected to challenge for silverware during the new campaign following the return of manager Jose Mourinho.

"I think every game is a tough test, especially for us because we play for a club where there is a lot of pressure," Lukaku told the club's official website. "As players, we can handle it. We also have a manager that likes pressure."

Chelsea continue their campaign tonight (Wednesday) when they welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge.
