Chelsea, a club with a poor start to the season, finished 12th with 44 points, closer to relegation than European spots. Despite significant changes in the summer, they are still in 10th place with 15 points, seven points away from European spots. Despite having a young team, Chelsea is not yet ready to compete in the top five or six teams in England.

Manchester City has had a remarkable season, winning a treble in the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup. This season, they are considered favorites to win both domestic league titles and the Champions League. They currently hold the top spot in the Premier League and have qualified for the next phase of the Champions League by winning all four games thus far.

Chelsea are facing significant injuries, potentially missing up to eight players from their previous games. The starting eleven is expected to remain unchanged after winning 4:1 against Tottenham, with the only change being a change to the left full-back position, with Marc Cucurella potentially replacing Levi Colwill, who started in the previous game but was considered the worst player.

John Stones, a central defender, is doubtful due to a thigh injury and may miss the first 45 minutes of the game. Nathan Aké and Ruben Dias are expected to start at the back. Kevin De Bruyne will be sidelined with a hamstring injury. The team will also miss Sergio Gomez and Zack Steffen.

Chelsea

Goalkeeper: Robert Sanchez
Defenders: Reece James, Axel Diasi, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella
