THE LOWDOWN
CHELSEA
Chelsea responded to their 0-2 defeat to Brentford last weekend with a 1-4 win over Tottenham in an encounter that was action packed to say the least.
The Blues were second best at the start of the match and went behind to a Dejan Kulusevski strike, but after Cristian Romero's red card, Cole Palmer drew Chelsea level from the spot. Spurs were then reduced to nine men early in the second half, but Maurizio Pochettino's men struggled to capitalise until Nicholas Jackson finally put them in front after 75 minutes. The Chelsea striker then added two more in injury-time to cap off a breathless encounter.
MAN CITY
Last season's champions moved to the top of the Premier League table last weekend courtesy of an emphatic 6-1 victory over Bournemouth, and they are really starting to motor now with the goals flying in from all over the pitch.
Pep Guardiola's men secured qualification to the round of 16 in the Champions League on Tuesday with a 3-0 victory over Swiss side Young Boys, and they can focus solely on the Premier League for the time being.
THE TEAM NEWS
CHELSEA
There is no change in the treatment room this week, so Maurizio Pochettino could well opt for an unchanged line-up from that which defeated Tottenham.
Armando Broja has a chance of inclusion, while Christopher Nkunku - yet to feature for Chelsea - isn't too far away from recovering from a knee injury.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez, James, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Palmer
UNAVAILABLE: Chalobah (Injured), Fofana (Injured), Chilwell (Injured), Lavia (Injured), Chukwuemeka (Injured), Nkunku (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Broja (Injured)
MAN CITY
John Stones's injury as not as bad as originally thought but he will definitely not be available for this fixture, with Sergio Gomez and Kevin De Bruyne the only other confirmed injury-related absentees.
Manuel Akanji is fine after a recent back issue and will travel to London with the squad.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Doku, Alvarez, Grealish; Haaland
UNAVAILABLE: Stones (Injured), Gomez (Injured), De Bruyne (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
THE PREDICTION
Chelsea have a simply horrible recent record in this fixture, losing the last six meeting in all competitions between the two sides without scoring a single goal. Maurizio Pochettino will be determined to change that, and his side are certainly trending in the right direction, but City are a relentless winning machine and they should be favoured regardless.
BETTING TIP: MAN CITY TO WIN
