Manchester City is hoping to defend their Premier League top spot as they would journey to Stamford Bridge this weekend for their EPL Round 12 Kickoff.
Chelsea has struggled in their recent encounters against the Premier League champions, Manchester City, losing their last six matches in succession without showing signs of an imminent turnaround.
Despite securing a significant derby victory over Tottenham, with a 4-1 win that ended Spurs' unbeaten streak, Chelsea's performance, albeit dominating against nine men, raised questions regarding sustained quality throughout the match until Nicolas Jackson's injury-time hat-trick settled the game.
Team News
The team is contending with a substantial injury roster, hoping for Armando Broja's return for the upcoming match against Manchester City. While Jackson's stellar performance might secure his spot, other potential changes include Levi Colwill's tactical substitution during the last game and the possible introduction of Mykhailo Mudryk in the forward line, depending on Mauricio Pochettino's choice.
