Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott is convinced Chelsea remain a title contender.
Lescott refuses to buy into the hype that title will definitely be heading for Manchester this season - draped in either blue or red ribbons.
Lescott told the Sunday Mirror: "I don't think anyone here is writing off Chelsea because they are a top side and they will be difficult to beat.
"United have got a tough game against Chelsea but what happens in that game will mean nothing to us if we don't beat Fulham.
"We have to concentrate on our job and then hope United and Chelsea cancel each other out."
