Pablo Zabaleta: 'We must forget about Chelsea ahead of Arsenal game'

Pablo Zabaleta warns his Manchester City teammates to forget about the meeting with Chelsea later this month as the champions prepare to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Pablo Zabaleta has urged his Manchester City teammates to not look past this Sunday's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

The champions will take on leaders Chelsea later this month in what could prove to be a crucial match in the title race, but Zabaleta believes that it would be foolish to lose focus as they prepare for the visit of the Gunners.

"We just need to think about Arsenal, they are playing well and have great individual players," the Argentine told Sky Sports News. "Then obviously we will face the leaders.

"They are top of the league, probably because they deserve it, and this is a game we at least have to go to Chelsea two points behind. We will do everything to win the Barclays Premier League."

City are currently two points behind Chelsea and 11 ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal.
