Asked more specifically how Chelsea can beat the champions next weekend, Hazard responded: "N'Golo [Kante] and David [Luiz]. That's the best way to win the game.
"It's going to be a different game. I think they will have the ball, because City have these kind of players.

"We will defend well and score one goal or two."
January signing Gonzalo Higuain also scored his first goals for his new side during Saturday's emphatic win, as the Argentine forward matched Hazard's attacking exploits by recording a brace of his own, with defender David Luiz rounding off the result with a late fifth for Chelsea.
The result saw Sarri's side leapfrog Arsenal once again and return to the top four, however the Gunners have a game in hand as they play Manchester City on Sunday.
