Chelsea face an "impossible" task of catching Liverpool in the race for the Premier League title, according to manager Maurizio Sarri.
The Italian spoke after the Blues were beaten 1-0 by Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, a result leaving Chelsea 11 points adrift of the Reds.

Sarri's admission of defeat has been echoed by centre-back Antonio Rudiger, who dubbed losing to the Foxes a "disaster" and proof Chelsea don't have the credentials to win a third title in five seasons.
