Team News

Man City
Chelsea
  • Pep Guardiola was dealt a triple injury blow on Tuesday night when it emerged that Josko Gvardiol, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish could all face a spell on the sidelines.
  • Mateo Kovacic has returned to training, but remains a doubt here.
  • Chelsea remain without no fewer than eight players through injury.
  • Christopher Nkunku could come in from the start here, having played all of the second half at Crystal Palace on Monday.

Prediction

  • Manchester City's round of 16 first leg victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League in midweek was their 11th in a row.
  • The treble winners head into gameweek 25 in second place, two points behind league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
  • After a rocky run of form came to a head with the 4-2 defeat at home to Wolves two weeks ago, Chelsea have won twice on the road since, to restore some positivity at Stamford Bridge.
  • The Blues played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with City when these two sides met in the reverse fixture back in November.
  • This time around, however, it should be the hosts who take all three points.
