Cesc Fabregas insists Chelsea are not worried about the gap between them and the top two clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Blues fell to City 2-1 on Saturday, extending the gap to eight points.
But Fabregas says the gap was similar at this time last year and then Chelsea went on to win the league.
Fabregas said: "This time last year we were eight points behind, so it doesn't mean anything.
"This was the same Chelsea of last season but we were against a City side much better rested. Nothing more."
