Preview
Fresh off their roller-coaster 4-1 win over Tottenham, Chelsea prepares for another tricky Premier League showdown, this time hosting reigning champions Manchester City. While the Cityzens are all but guaranteed to enter the upcoming international break at the top of the table, Guardiola's men will want to put some distance between themselves and nearest rivals Arsenal and will need a victory as a result.
The Blues have the home advantage and enter this fixture on the back of their 4-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend. Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick while Cole Palmer also got on the scoresheet, equalizing for Pochettino's men after going 1-0 down early against their London rivals.
It should be noted that Spurs lost two players to red cards on that day, meaning Chelsea overcame a nine-man Tottenham. That proved helpful for the Blues, who had lost their two Premier League outings before that.
Pochettino's side currently sits 10th in the table, with the 4-1 victory over Spurs being their fourth win of the season. In fact, Sterling and Co. have lost just as many games as they have won and thus boast only 15 points this season, 12 less than the current league leaders Man City.
The Cityzens, meanwhile, will want to increase their lead over second-placed Arsenal to three points and their gap over Chelsea to 15 points. A victory at Stamford Bridge will be needed to achieve that, and given the form of both teams, this is what many fans expect to happen.
Unlike the Blues, Guardiola's men have more wins than defeats. With nine victories, two losses, and zero draws, Haaland and Co. sit top of the table with 27 points — Arsenal are level but have already played, beating Burnley 3-1 on Saturday.
The defending champions are on a five-game winning streak since losing 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium, but their last two trips to their English rivals have ended in defeats — against Arsenal in the league and Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.
Fortunately for the visitors, they have not lost a domestic game against Chelsea since 2021. Will they keep this unbeaten run intact? Don't miss this stellar Stamford Bridge showdown.
Team news
Chelsea: Enzo Fernandez was forced off the pitch in pain in the win over Tottenham, but the Argentine is expected to be fit for this game. Likewise, Armando Broja also stands a chance of making this game. However, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Trevoh Chalobah, and Carney Chukwuemeka are all sidelined.
Man City: Pep has lost a few more players to injury, namely John Stones and Manuel Akanji, who have joined Kevin de Bruyne on the sidelines. The Swiss center-back's issue isn't thought to be serious and has returned to training. Likewise, Sergio Gomez is also out.
