The defeat, following the 1-1 draw with Southampton last week, has seen the club lose their edge over City and the two sides now sit level at the top of the Premier League table.
Many had already crowned Chelsea champions by mid-Novemeber, and though they have let the lead slip Terry believes that they can make up the difference once again.
It’s hard to see them claw us back, we were eight points in front and now we’re level on points,” he said.
“It’s disappointing to have lost that lead but we said in the dressing room we’ll come together, put a run together and hopefully get a lead again.”
City and Chelsea face each other at the end of the month in a clash that could well prove crucial in the race for the title.
