Juan Mata – Chelsea aren't scared of Man City!

The Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata is very clear that Man City deserve respect for being top of the league, but there is no way that Chelsea are being scared of them in tonights game at Stamford Bridge.

Mata is used to be playing for Valencia in La Liga in Spain where he had to face Barcelona twice a year, and he doesn’t think that Man City can put themselves in that category yet.

“It is very difficult to be like Barcelona for other teams. They have been together for three or four years.

“City are playing very well as well, but they have different players – Barca have some of the best in the world.

“So no, we do not have any fear of City, especially because we’re playing at home.

“We do have the ultimate respect for them because they’re the league leaders. But fear? Not at all.”

It certainly depends on which Chelsea turns up tonight. They have played some fantastic games this season but they have also turned in some awful performances. Let’s hope Villas-Boas has finally got his team settled into his system and they do their jobs like they should be doing. As world beaters!
