Thomas Tuchel insists Chelsea will never give up in the Premier League title race.

The Blues fell 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City after going down 1-0 to Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday.

The Blues can get back on track with a win over Brighton on Tuesday, and Tuchel says his team is still focused on the title.

Asked if they were out of the race, Tuchel told a press conference: "To not focus on our problem, we have to simply admit that City is in a very strong place with the points they have and have gathered in the last twelve matches.

"They earn what they have and this is first of all important to admit.

"The second thing is we will never give up. Never, never until the race is over. We are in the middle of the race, maybe not anymore, but we are still in the race and we just have to take our place."
