Trevoh Chalobah is expected to start in central defence again with Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile still injured. Mykhailo Mudryk remains unavailable.
Man City vs Chelsea prediction
This should be a really entertaining game under the lights at the Etihad. Neither team are known to put the brakes on, especially City at home, so Chelsea will sense an opportunity against their leaky defence.
Chelsea, too, have struggled to keep clean sheets of late, so goals should be a guarantee. Can Enzo Maresca get one over on his former mentor? Will City be boosted by their trio of January signings?
