Samir Nasri hoping for Chelsea mistake

Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri admits that he is hoping Chelsea will slip up to let Manuel Pellegrini's side back into the Premier League title race.

Samir Nasri has said that he is hoping Chelsea will "make a mistake" to let Manchester City close the gap to the top of the Premier League table.

Jose Mourinho's side are currently seven points clear of the defending champions with 13 fixtures still to play in the league this season.

The midfielder told The Guardian: "The two times we won the league we were behind as well and we just caught them at the end.

"The season is still long, the Champions League is going to come as well and we're going to have a lot of games. So hopefully [Chelsea] are going to make a mistake and we are going to try to get in behind and try to sneak in at the end.

"Wilfried Bony, we just hope he's going to continue his run he had with Swansea, scoring goal after goal and we'll see at the end of season."

Manuel Pellegrini's side host Newcastle United later today.
