Raheem Sterling talked up the importance of Manchester City's meeting with Chelsea in just the second game of the Premier League season.
Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling believes Sunday's clash with Chelsea is a "vital" encounter.
Manuel Pellegrini's men made an impressive start to the Premier League season, dispatching of West Brom 3-0 in their opener. A big early-season match against Jose Mourinho's side follows, and is important for a Chelsea team held by Swansea City in their first outing.
Sterling said it was already a crucial encounter for Manchester City, which played out two draws against its fellow title contenders last season.
