Team News
Chelsea
Man City
- Armando Broja is a doubt for the home side, who remain without no fewer than six players due to injury.
- Christopher Nkunku is expected back after the international break, however, which is a boost for the Blues.
- Mauricio Pochettino may go with the same XI that started against Spurs on Monday night, though Marc Cucurella, who replaced Levi Colwill at the break, is an option at left-back.
- Manuel Akanji is a doubt owing to a back issue and needs assessing, but Manchester City have been rocked by the news that John Stones is set for another stint on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue.
- Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Gomez remain absent for the visitors.
