Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta insists the title race won't be decided just between themselves and Chelsea.
Zabaleta claims the chasing pack of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Southampton cannot be dismissed at this early stage of the campaign.
"I think you cannot forget about other teams like United, Arsenal, Liverpool," said the City full-back. "I think Southampton are in good shape at the moment.
"I don't know....we just need to think about ourselves and keep working hard to try and win games.
"We know how tough this competition, the Premier League, is. We have won it twice in the last three years and we know how tough it is to win it. Every game is so hard to win, especially playing away from home."
