Chelsea is languishing at 10th in the points table which has increased the pressure on manager Graham Potter. The Blues do not look like playing Champions League football next season unless there is a massive change in fortunes. Their problems could further be aggravated when defending champions Manchester City come to visit Stamford Bridge. Pep Guardiola’s team have been let down by inconsistencies this term and that has left them trailing league leaders Arsenal by 8 points currently which could be reduced if they win this tough battle. They head into this contest on the back of a surprise draw with struggling Everton which must have left the players feeling frustrated. Chelsea versus Manchester City will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 1:30 am.

Chelsea have several key players missing due to injuries and they include the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy, Wesley Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N’Golo Kante, and Armando Broja. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the attack for the hosts with Mason Mount as the playmaker slotting in behind him. Denis Zakaria and Mateo Kovacic will be the two workhorses in midfield with Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic providing the creative impetus.
Aymeric Laporte is a major doubt for the contest with the visitors also missing Ruben Dias due to a long-term hamstring injury. Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s talismanic striker could pose problems for Chelsea given the form he is in. Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move away from Manchester City of late but remains a key player for Pep Guardiola in his attacking 4-3-3 setup. Rodri will be the midfield enforcer and is a vital cog in the City wheel.
