John Stones has revealed that the Manchester City squad all have the same "mentality, desire and focus" as they look to claw back ground on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
A 1-1 draw at home to Everton on New Year's Eve saw City fall further behind the Gunners after Erling Haaland's 21st league goal of the season was cancelled out by a stunning Demarai Gray strike. Mikel Arteta's side currently sit eight points clear of the Blues, but a win against Chelsea on Thursday night would see Pep Guardiola's men close the gap to just five points.
The Catalan manager will be desperate for his side to start to show the ruthlessness that has seen them win four out of the last five top-flight campaigns and the clash at Stamford Bridge can provide the perfect opportunity for them to do just that.
