Manchester City are set to host Chelseain a crucialPremier Leaguegame at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The Blues have lost three times to City this season, including a 1-0 loss at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture in January. Given their form, it will be a tall order to beat Pep Guardiola's marauding troops, who head into this fixture after destroying Real Madrid 4-0 in the UEFA Champions League.
City have their fortunes firmly in their hands in the Premier League and a win against Chelsea will be another massive step to successfully defend the title. They are currently on an 11-match winning streak in the league and have won all 16 matches at the Etihad across all competitions since the turn of the year, scoring 56 goals.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will be playing for pride as they sit in the 11th spot with 43 points and are eight points behind 10th-placed Fulham.
However, it is interesting that Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is one of only two managers to avoid defeat away at Manchester City in the Premier League this season, drawing 1-1 with Everton in December.
