Man City winger Samir Nasri has turned up the heat in this year's title race by claiming that leaders Chelsea "are not special at all."

Speaking to L'Equipe this week, the French international suggested the Blues will slip up in their remaining Premier League fixtures, with the Citizens ready to pounce.

City trail Chelsea by seven points with 13 matches remaining for them to claw back the gap and successfully defend the title they won last year.

Chelsea host Burnley before travelling to Leicester in their next two league fixtures, while Man City take on Newcastle at the Etihad and Liverpool at Anfield.
