EPL: We must beat Man City, says Chelsea boss Potter

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has insisted his side have to focus on their own game on Thursday.

The Blues take on title challengers Manchester City, who won the Premier League last term.

With their form not at its peak at present, Chelsea are merely trying to stay in touch with the top four teams in the Premier League.

“He’s had a fantastic season and his goals there are amazing,” Potter said of City striker Erling Haaland.

“They are a top team but we have to think about ourselves, how we can do better, how we can take steps forward in our game. That is the approach we’ll have.”

“We have to play well ourselves, that is the key,” the Chelsea head coach added.

“Then you have to understand the quality they have and try to stop it. It sounds simple when you condense it down but the reality isn’t so straightforward.

“They are a top team but we can cause them a problem, we can be ourselves and try to play well and put them under pressure. We need to use Stamford Bridge and then see what happens.”
