Eden Hazard insists Chelsea are not interested in influencing the Premier League title race.


Chelsea face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday where they can spoil the Reds' title ambitions for the second time in five years.

Maurizio Sarri's men could again dent Liverpool's fight for that elusive first top-flight title since 1990 on Sunday, but Belgium playmaker Hazard is focused only on advancing the Blues' bid for a top-four league finish.

"We don't care about who can win the title, we'll go there and try to win the game," Hazard told the BBC.

"They are a fantastic team to watch, their manager is great.

"They have some of the best players in the world. But we are Chelsea, we can beat anyone."

Chelsea scraped past Slavia Prague 1-0 at the Sinobo Stadium in Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Hazard remains among Real Madrid's main transfer targets for this summer. Real Madrid Boss Zinedine Zidane labelled the Chelsea forward a "fantastic" player.
