Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic has expressed his belief that Manchester City will provide a threat to their Premier League title ambitions 'until the end'.

Jose Mourinho's side currently have a seven-point lead at the top of the table after City dropped points in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Hull City.

"It would be special for me if we win but we have many games to the end and only seven points lead," Matic told Chelsea's official website.

"Because Manchester City are a very good team, they will fight to the end and we will see at the end. We are in a good way at the moment and we will try to keep like this but it is a long way to go."

Chelsea's next game is at home to Everton on Wednesday.
