Hazard: The biggest difference between Chelsea and Man City

Eden Hazard believes depth is the difference between Chelsea and Manchester City.

The Blues finished in third place on the Premier League table this season, 26 points behind champions City.

And Hazard thinks a lack of depth prohibited Chelsea from challenging for the title.

He told the Daily Mail: "I don't think there is only one problem. When you look at the starting 11 of City they can play with 22 players. When you look at Chelsea I think we can't play with 22 players.

"It has been a 50-50 season. Sometimes happy, sometimes not. We finished in the top three, Carabao Cup final and now Europa League. If we win it, the season can be good. Not perfect, because you want to compete for the league and FA Cup.

"Liverpool and City did not change the manager in the summer, we changed the manager. Sometimes you need time to adapt. But we can reach that level, we have the players and we just need to train together, we play together, lose together."
