Michael Essien believes that playing in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge later tonight will inspire them to a win.
Chelsea get ready to host Manchester City later today in a clash that Michael Essien described as a 'hard' one. Essien's header secured maximum points for Chelsea in the corresponding fixture last season. However, he insisted that the match this time around will be a tougher one and the team that proves to be superior in midfield will win the match.
'They have some tough players in the midfield and we have some as well so it is going to be really tough in there and there is going to be movement all over the pitch,’ Essien said.
Despite that, Essien still believes that Chelsea will be able to win the game because of their home advantage.
‘It is going to be physical and it is always hard playing Man City. They will come here and make things difficult for us but with the players we have got and playing in front of our fans, hopefully that will give us the advantage to go out there and get the three points.’
