Chelsea travel to the Etihad Stadium this Sunday in the weekends big Premier League clash. This game could help provide momentum for one club over the other. City come in to the game after a defeat in the champions league while Chelsea only managed a draw.

The City manager is likely to recall Pablo Zabaleta, who was suspended for the trip to the Allianz Arena. Aguero should start which is a huge relief but City are without the injured Stevan Jovetic (hamstring) and Fernando (groin).

Diego Costa is fit to lead the line for Chelsea so they have a fully fit squad.
