Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has played down Chelsea's dominance in the Premier League table, calling Jose Mourinho's side as 'not special' and 'unimpressive' during their previous two games against reigning champions City.
The French international said that though he was a big fan of Mourinho, he was not impressed with his team, not at all, adding that they were the better team than Chelsea during their previous two games at the Etihad and Stamford Bridge, the Mirror reported.
Reflecting on City's chances to defend the title, Nasri said that Chelsea were going to make some mistakes, adding that City just had to perform, to win their games, and see what was going to happen.
Nasri added that they have 39 points to fight for and if they reach 90 points, they would be champions.
City are second in the table, seven points behind Premier League pace-setters Chelsea.
