Jamie Carragher believes that the race for the Premier League crown will be "back on" if Manchester City take all three points against Everton today.

The Liverpool legend had previously said that Jose Mourinho's Chelsea could easily go all season unbeaten, though that proved not to be the case as the Blues went down 2-1 away at Newcastle United.

Should have done that Jose column when they were playing an easy home game! Title race back on if City get the 3 points!!

Papiss Cisse put the Magpies ahead in the 57th minute and doubled the home side's advantage on 78 minutes, with Didier Drogba netting what turned out to be a consolation goal with seven minutes remaining.

Manuel Pellegrini's side can now reduce Chelsea's lead at the top to three points with a win against Everton at the Etihad tonight.
