Fernandinho believes it is vitally important Manchester City defeat Chelsea this weekend, so they can maintain a small gap between the two clubs.

The London outfit have started the Premier League campaign brilliantly, winning four from four to sit top of the table.

City started impressively with two victories but were held last weekend by rivals Arsenal and lost at home to Stoke City before the international break.

Therefore the Brazilian believes the Etihad outfit must beat Chelsea this weekend.

Sky Sports quoted Fernandinho, he said: “In the Premier League the most important thing is not to give the team at the top of the table reasons to keep winning game after game.

“We don’t want a big space between us. We have to win because there would be six or eight points difference between us and Chelsea. We have to shorten it.”

“We have to win, keep working and keep going until we are top of the table.”
