Man City to immediately focus attention on Chelsea - Toure

After a summer free from football, Yaya Toure is back and ready to reclaim the Premier League title from Chelsea.

Toure has said, however, that the side must not get complacent, as despite their 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Monday, they face reigning champions Chelsea at the newly-expanded Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

"It was a great start at West Brom," said Toure. "The team did a massive job, we played very well against a difficult side.

"People said West Brom made it easy for us but we made it easy because we played our own football with the belief and intensity."

"But the Premier League is very tough, there's a very long way to go yet – 37 more games. Now we have a massive game on Sunday against a direct rival."
