The highlight fixture in the Premier League this weekend is Chelsea's visit to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City, in a battle between two teams looking to establish themselves amongst the top four in the standings.
Chelsea lost to Manchester City in the opening match of the season. However, City's struggles since are well documented by now and Chelsea—although they've had a dip in form themselves over the past month—could very well take advantage of that.
Enzo Maresca's men are coming off ending a six game winless streak in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The win put the Blues one place above City in the standings, two points clear of the reigning champions, making this a game of significant importance.
Romeo Lavia will miss yet another game through injury, joining Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile in the infirmary room. Enzo Maresca teased the possibility of Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernández featuring in the game having recovered from their respective health issues.
Here's how Chelsea could lineup looking for their first win against Manchester City since the 2021UEFA Champions League final.
