Eden Hazard: 'Manchester City still title favourites'

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has insisted that Manchester City are still favourites to win the Premier League this season.

Hazard and his teammates are currently seven points clear at the top of the table and nine points ahead of City, who have three games in hand.

Despite Chelsea's lead in the standings, Hazard believes that the destiny of the title is still in the hands of Manuel Pellegrini's side.

"Manchester City will become champions if they win all of their games. But if we get the chance, we will take it," he told Sporting Telenet.

"We have enough quality to play for first spot, but City are still favourites as they have the better players."

Chelsea continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they travel to Aston Villa.
