Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero insists that he will not underestimate Chelsea as the two sides prepare to meet on Sunday.

The 24-year-old etched his name into the Citizens' history books, by scoring the winning goal in last season's dramatic final day victory to ensure the Premier League title would be going to the Blue half of Manchester.

This time round it would take something even more memorable to retain the championship with arch rivals United holding a 12-point gap at the top.

The Argentinian knows this weekend's clash with European Champions Chelsea is key to their title hopes and, although Rafael Benitez's side has been on a poor run of late, he believes it will be a stern test.

"Chelsea are a great team," said Aguero.

"They've won the Champions League for a reason and even if they were eliminated from that tournament and haven't had as good as season as they might have expected in the League, they are still a great team with fantastic players- but so are we."
