Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has claimed that Manchester City are not good enough to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League title this season.
The Pole fell victim to the free-scoring Blues on Saturday as the league leaders flashed their title credentials with a 5-0 win at the Liberty Stadium - four of which came in the first half.
Jose Mourinho's side sit five points clear of second-placed City, and Fabianski admits that he would be surprised to see any other team finish top come May.
"If I am completely honest, comparing them to Manchester City who are up there with them, I think they are stronger," he told Sky Sports News.
"Their attacking force is something really different - they are very sharp, quick and technical. They are always trying to surprise you - they make great runs and are always in good positions.
"After the last goal when they were playing around our box, I looked back and there were three players already celebrating with Schurrle and I could not believe how quickly they had got to him in our six-yard box. It was because they were all in there. So from a physical and technical point of view they are very, very strong."
The West Londoners could move as many as eight points clear of the reigning champions in two weeks' time when Manuel Pellegrini's men visit Stamford Bridge.
