Essien believes City pose a real threat to Chelsea’s bid to retain their league crown, going as far to say that at the moment they are the Blues biggest challengers.
“There is still a long way to go,” the Ghana midfielder told the Evening Standard.
“The season is very long and we have to keep playing like we did against Arsenal and keep getting points. We led for much of last season but last season is gone. We have a new season now and it will be decided at the end.
“Manchester City are our closest challengers right now. You can see they made good signings and they will be up for it. We will see what happens. I don’t know if they will have the stamina but they have the players to go out and do the job.”
