Kevin De Bruyne insists Manchester City can still chase down Chelsea and win the Premier League title this season because of the unpredictable nature of football.

City sit 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea after beating West Ham 4-0 at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.

The two clubs play each other at Stamford Bridge in early April, by which time the Premier League title could be wrapped up but De Bruyne insists City can still catch Conte's side because of the "crazy" nature of football.

"Football can go a little crazy sometimes," De Bruyne said.

"They (Chelsea) are far ahead but even if you lose three games and (we) win three games you are there. Three games is nothing.

"We just have to do our thing and not look at what Chelsea and the others are doing.

"If we win our games we will have a good place and, hopefully, the best possible."

He added: "I don't know [if we can catch Chelsea] — we are going to try. In the Premier League you have to be there every week.

"All the injured players are coming back which I am very happy about as we have a lot of games with the league and Champions League.

"And we will need everyone. It will be very important to have series of wins to put pressure on the rest."
