Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon to take on Chelsea.
The Citizens were held to a goalless draw by Southampton in the league last weekend, but they recorded a thumping 6-1 victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.
Pep Guardiola's side are currently fifth in the table, three points behind leaders Chelsea, who are one of three unbeaten teams in England's top flight this term.
