Sergio Aguero believes Manchester City will pounce when Chelsea drop points in Premier League title hunt

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero believes that his side would be ready to pounce when runaway leaders Chelsea drop points in their quest for the Premier League title.

Having lost to Stoke City and West Ham United already this season, City have made a sticky start to their title defence and are in third spot, six points adrift of the Stamford Bridge club after 10 matches.

However, Aguero, who scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday that gave his team their fourth consecutive derby victory, is adamant that Chelsea would not maintain their early-season form, Sport24 reported.

Aguero said that Chelsea are doing very well and they keep winning but added that he is sure they would drop some points. He said that Chelsea play at Liverpool this weekend and City would see if they drop points but the important thing is that the Premier League defenders have to win games.

The 26-year-old has scored 10 times in the league this season, one more than Chelsea hot-shot Diego Costa, and the Argentina international says that his goals would be worthless if City fail to keep winning.

City would meet CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday before travelling to struggling Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League on Saturday, the report added.
