“I want to remind you that in the last two seasons this team had 70 points, not 100. In the summer, we changed everything. It is not easy.”Chelsea ended Citys unbeaten start to the season with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in December, before suffering a humiliating 6-0 loss in the reverse fixture earlier this month.It was the Blues’ heaviest defeat since losing 7-0 to Nottingham Forest in 1991.Sarri added: “I thought we were lucky in the first match because we were in trouble in the first-half, we scored in the last minute of the first-half and then the match changed. “I thought we were unlucky in the second match because we started very well for five minutes but then conceded a stupid goal and we were unable to react. It was a disaster.“For us, it’s very important to stay in the match for a long time [on Sunday] then we will be able to do something.”Chelsea trail Arsenal in the Premier League on goals scored with both clubs one point off fourth-placed Manchester United.
