The Premier League features a massive clash between two of its biggest teams this weekend as Chelsea lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in a crucial encounter at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea vs Manchester City Preview
Chelsea are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Blues stunned Tottenham Hotspur with a 4-1 victory in their previous game and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but are yet to hit their peak this season. The away side eased past Young Boys by a 3-0 scoreline in the UEFA Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this match.
