Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda admits they were cheering for Manchester City in Sunday's amazing derby defeat to Manchester United.
Malouda told chelseafc.com: "We were watching in the dressing room, we were happy every time Man City were equalising but in the end Man U won and it shows how tough this league is.
"We have to be at our best if we want to win at the end of the season, because there are so many big teams in this league. Every team is difficult to play. The last three years they have won every time, and they have to defend their title but Liverpool and Arsenal are big teams, Man City are competing and Tottenham had a good start, so it is a tough league and every time you have to play a game you start from zero."
