Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says they must just focus on themselves in their title battle with Chelsea.
City have already clawed back an eight-point deficit once this season having drawn level with Chelsea on New Year's Day, only to fall back again.
The 28-year-old said: "This was about us. I don't think anyone thought about Chelsea's result.
"We needed to focus on our own (game) and when we do, it gives us enough satisfaction to not care about Chelsea.
"We know if we are in the right form we can set up a line of results, and that's what we will need for this season."
