Manchester City will take on Chelsea in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's team are only two points behind league leaders Liverpool and have a game in hand over the Reds. The Blues, on the other hand, are struggling in 10th place in the table.
City will be difficult to beat as they are currently on a winning run of 11 games. They registered a 2-1 win in the mid-week Champions League fixture against Copenhagen and will looking to keep that winning run going. They will also be the strong favourites against Mauricio Pochettino's side who are going through a difficult campaign.
Chelsea have managed to win their last two outings and that should give them some hope of putting up a challenge away from home.
