Chelsea face Man City at the Etihad in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
It’s a huge game for Mauricio Pochettino’s developing Chelsea side. City are in fearsome form. Will our young team show what they can do, or get minced by the champions?
Pochettino has a pretty complete squad to pick from, including a fresh and rested Christopher Nkunku, who is surprisingly left on the bench. Another injury? Surely not. It’s certainly odd.
Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer play against out wide with Nicolas Jackson down the middle – unless he’s reprising his left winger act.
Everything else is as you’d expect, with Levi Colwill playing in place of the injured Thiago Silva. It’s another big day for him if he wants to take the Brazilian’s place for the rest of the season.
Here are the full team line-ups for Man City vs Chelsea (kick off at 17:30 GMT)
