Chelsea caretaker boss Roberto di Matteo insists they're capable of beating Manchester City tonight.

Chelsea go into the game in flying form under the Italian.

Asked if he believed Chelsea were capable of taking City on, Di Matteo said: "Yes, I do."

He added: "I think we have a very good team and squad, a very strong one, and we've shown it over the years.

"The table shows that they (City) have won more games this season than we have. But, I think we are very competitive."

Di Matteo did not shy away from statistics that point to a City win, the first of which shows Chelsea are looking to end a run of four away league games without a win.

"We will try, yes, for sure," he said, before being reminded City had won all 14 of their home league matches.

"I know that one as well. I know the facts! They're obviously very strong at home, everybody knows that.

"But every run comes to an end."
