Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has warned rivals Chelsea that his side have the experience to chase them down in the race for the Premier League title.

Manuel Pellegrini's City trail Jose Mourinho's league leaders by three points as they prepare to host mid-table Sunderland on Thursday.

City won the title last season despite having trailed both Arsenal and Liverpool for long periods during the campaign and Nasri believes that knowhow gives City an advantage in the current title race.
