Manchester City attacker Phil Foden has named Chelsea defender Reece James his toughest opponent ahead of the two sides' encounter.

The two sides will meet at Stamford Bridge this weekend where Foden could come up against his England teammate.

Speaking ahead of the game this weekend, Foden who has been in excellent form for City in recent weeks took the time to praise James' defensive abilities.

Sky Sports' Olivia Buzzaglo revealed that the 23-year-old attacking midfielder sat down for a Q&A where he named James as his toughest opponent. 

"I’ve just finished a Q+A with the lovely Phil Foden and he said the toughest full-back he’s ever played against is Reece James."

Chelsea are in fine form, and despite going into this clash as underdogs, they will be aiming to cause an upset against the defending Premier Champions.
