Pep Guardiola says he was impressed by Chelsea despite Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Frank Lampard’s men on Saturday.
"They are so good, they are an incredible team. It's Chelsea. When you see in the last 20 years, Chelsea aren't a bad side. The last six or seven years City won more titles but before that it was Manchester United and Chelsea – they were the best.
"Before teams [were] just defending and use the counter-attack, now teams have the courage to use young managers, they have players with spirit, nothing to lose and they go forward, play football that is nice.
"You can see the top teams are all playing incredibly well. Leicester, Liverpool, our team, Chelsea."
