Benitez 'Confident' Ahead Of City Clash

22 February 2013 16:44
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez believes Sunday's meeting with Manchester City can be a guide to his side's targets for the season.

Rafael Benitez: "We have a lot of respect because City is a great team.

"But we have to go there with confidence and if we are close I think that we can fight for being in the top two, and if not we have to fight for being in the top four.

"The priority is to win; if we win this game we will be closer but if we cannot we have to keep fighting.

"What I can see now is a team with confidence, we are confident we can beat City or anyone if we do things in the right way.

"We are creating chances in every game so I'm confident we can do it.

"The race for the top four will go on until the end of the season.

"Our last game is against Everton so I'm sure that, until the end of the season, we will be winning games or losing games or whatever but it will be very tight, very close.

"I think that one game can make a big difference so until the end it will be difficult for everyone."
