Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rates Sunday's clash with Chelsea as a final.
The two clubs also meet in the Carabao Cup final in two weeks' time and Guardiola sees little difference between the games.
"It's a final for us, and we have to play it in that way," he said.
"It's Chelsea.
"They have a chance to be champions, even if people don't believe it. They have midfielders who are the best in the world, a good keeper and experienced defenders."
