Predicted XI: Chelsea (A)

Manchester City will look to gain some ground on their Premier League rivals as they take on league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Pep Guardiola’s men go into the game one point behind third-placed Liverpool after missing the chance to go above the Reds in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea are currently 11 points clear of City, but only seven points clear of nearest rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Despite a frustrating loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Antonio Conte’s men will be eager to bounce back against the Citizens, who have drawn their last three Premier League games.

Chelsea look set to win the Premier League after a fantastic season under Antonio Conte, who has managed to turn them into a powerful unit, which also beat City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season in a 3-1 win. Pep Guardiola will want to win this game to guarantee his side’s top four position, as well as get revenge for that damaging defeat in December.

Here’s how we expect Pep Guardiola to set out his team for the game tomorrow night.
