According to Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel ahead of his side’s clash with Manchester City, this are his expectations.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuhel has discussed what he
expects from Manchester City when Chelsea face the
Citizen’s on Saturday.
The match will be played in front of a home crowd at
Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Tuchel
reavealed what he expects from the opposition.
He said: “They are the example, the benchmark at this
high level for many years now, they play consistently on
this high level.
I am happy we can produce this kind of performances
and results also consistently. We need to prove that we
can build and deliver this with the same consistency than
City. They are the benchmark for this. We have to stay
hungry and close the gap.”
Chelsea have won their last three matches against
Manchester City under Tuchel and will be looking to
make it four in a row to pull six point clear of their title
rivals.
When asked whether the match is a ‘six pointer’, Tuchel
continued: “Six pointer between two teams who are
clearly rivals for top four, when you are rivals for top four
you are also rivals for the best outcome possible.
“It is too early, it will not be a decision tomorrow. Any
team can steal three points from a direct competitor, you
can call it this. Does it change anything? No. It is also
not necessary to be shy, to play it down. There is a
possibility we maybe play a draw. Things will be tough, I
mean it.”
