Chelsea host Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend and the other top six clubs will be hoping Sarri’s men can finally inflict a defeat.
Manchester City along with Liverpool are still unbeaten in the league but unlike Jurgen Klopp’s men, the defending champions have been virtually untouchables this campaign.
Man City did get a bit of a scare though this midweek as they overcame Watford 2-1.
Manchester City are without a doubt the favourites to win the game against Chelsea but City’s forward Riyad Mahrez still feels the other teams are very much in the hunt for the title.
“Anyone in the top four can still win the league,” said Mahrez.
“Nothing is done and we need to keep working very hard for each other and try to win every game.
“Now we need to focus every three days, and we need to be ready and at our top.
“You are not going to win every game 4-0 or 5-0, and going through these types of games makes you stronger.
Riyad Mahrez has been directly involved in 13 goals in 22 games for Manchester City this season (7 goals, 6 assists). 💪#UCL pic.twitter.com/ZDi085xGND

“We created more chances and tried to kill the game, but in football when you are 2-0 up and the opposition scores, the crowd get behind them and it’s difficult, so we were very happy to win and get the three points.”
Chelsea need to win this game if they wish to remain relevant in the title hunt as a loss would mean Sarri’s men would trail by 13 points by the end of the weekend.
Liverpool too would want Chelsea to beat Manchester City on Saturday since a loss for Pep Guardiola’s men would give the Anfield outfit a chance to sit at the top of the league table.
