Team news
Chelsea
Maurizio Sarri is going to face The Citizens with a full-strength squad, as there are no injuries.
Sarri made five changes against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and could bring in Jorginho and Andreas Christensen for Cesc Fabregas and David Luiz. Sarri also could go for Ruben Loftus-Cheek because of his tremendous performance against Wolves.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola is going to launch a strong side against Sarri's Chelsea, as Sergio Kun Aguero and Raheem Sterling could return in the lineup. But superstars like Kevin De Bruyne and Benjamin Mendy are going to miss the away fixture against The Blues.
Oleksandr Zinchenko could miss the game due to a face injury, and Fabian Delph could play as the left back against Chelsea.
Predicted lineups
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Delph; Fernandinho, D. Silva, B. Silva; Sané, Sterling, Agüero
