JAKARTA - Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling thinks his team can beat Manchester City even though in the end the match ended with a 1-1 draw in the 25th week of the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester, Sunday morning. Quoted from the club's official website, Sunday, Sterling admitted that he was quite disappointed because he secured three points from Etihad, especially since the Blues played very well in this match.

"I think in the end we were satisfied with one point but I think there was also a bit of disappointment not to win this game," said Sterling.

"We have a chance to finish the game, although fairly they also have a good chance, but we have a good chance to ensure victory."

The former Liverpool player also praised Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino for providing an accurate strategy to stem Manchester City's game.

Sterling explained that Chelsea already believed that Manchester City would play a lot with the ball and The Citizen would certainly be able to make the best of it.

"We knew we were going to have a difficult moment and we had to face it, using our brains and the opportunities we got through the transition," Sterling said. "It happened both in the first and second half and in the end, we were a little disappointed to leave without the three points," he concluded.

In this match Chelsea had stolen the lead thanks mainly to a goal scored by Sterling, but in the end City were able to equalize through Rodri.

Furthermore, Chelsea will play a major match against Liverpool in the final round of the English League Cup at Wembley Stadium, London, Sunday (25/2).
