Chelsea far from special, says Samir Nasri

Manchester City playmaker Samir Nasri has turned up the heat in the title race by claiming Chelsea are "not special".

City face a fight to retain their Premier League crown having fallen seven points behind the Londoners. The champions had looked to be wavering after failing to win in four league games but returned to form with a 4-1 win at Stoke on Wednesday.

It did not cut into Chelsea’s lead, and Jose Mourinho’s men remain firm favourites, but Nasri is convinced they could still be vulnerable.
