Kompany Teasingly Hopes Hazard Falls Sick Ahead Of Clash

However, Jose Mourinho’s defending Premier League champions suffered a setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Swansea City at home last weekend.

Mancheter City would host Chelsea on Saturday on the back of a 3-0 win over West Brom and the Manchester City defender was speaking to the press about the importance of the early heavyweight clash in the premier league.

“You’d nearly hope that Eden Hazard would have diarrhoea”, the City skipper joked to Belgium newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.

Kevin De Bruyne spent one season at Chelsea in 2013 and failed to make an impact for the Blues.

Kompany said he and some of his team mates did not perform well last season and were keen to improve.

Kompany with his team mate Fernandinho tries to stop the fast pace Eden Hazard. If a battle between the two teams that have lifted the trophy for the past two seasons was not enough, a former Chelsea player could be making his return to England against his former club.

“[Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo are stats animals”. But they score a lot. “Could I say he will never reach their scoring levels?” Eden has made so much progression the last few years that it is possible he reaches their level. “It wouldn’t even be a bad performance when he ends up just behind Messi and Ronaldo”. That was for me a sign: I want to prove that I still can do it. I can now understand why defenders say they feel top when they’re on the pitch, certainly when you become older.

“For us that is a great challenge“. We had good spells last season, but our consistency is what cost us.

“If we play a dominant game again, it will be fantastic, but the three points are more important”.
