Chelsea visit the Etihad to take on Manchester City on Monday night in a vital clash at the top of the Premier League table.
City dropped to second following Arsenal’s victory on Sunday so will be hoping to reclaim top spot with a win, while the Blues will be desperate to keep in touch with the top two after dropping points in midweek.
Manuel Pellegrini will have to make do without the services of Sergio Aguero after the striker picked up a hamstring strain during the midweek win over Spurs, so Alvaro Negredo could come back in to the attack alongside Edin Dzeko.
Otherwise, the Citizens are expected to keep faith with the eleven that performed so well at White Hart Lane, although Stevan Jovetic is pushing for a start after coming off the bench to grab his first league goal of the season against Tottenham.
Jose Mourinho has to decide whether to mix things up following a disappointing 0-0 draw with West Ham last time out. January signing Nemanja Matic could com in to the midfield with John obi Mikel the man likely to make way.
Frank Lampard is also pushing for a recall, but Samuel Eto’o is expected to retain his place in attack ahead of Demba Ba despite miss-firing on Wednesday, with Fernando Torres still out with a knee injury
Here are the predicted teams:

can’t see jose playing anything different ,maybe because he knows that this squad is so predictable he will try something else ,but what….
Matic will have to play he will secure every long ball ,also Oscar and Hazard will play.
Maybe Willian for Schurrle or Eto’o for Ba or Mikel for Ramires

Chelsea is so gonna have its backside thrashed today! I see man city winning by 5 goals to 1. Today is the day Jose will regret the day he sold Mata to man utd. Mata would have been the game changer. Jose’s game has become so predictable with hazard too predictable runs. I’m sorry for all the fans of chelsea cos dis time tomorrow, they will be singing another song. Maybe the “Sack Jose” song
