Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea manager Graham Potter will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Nottingham Forest. They came away from that fixture with 72% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Nottingham Forest managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stamford Bridge, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a strong run of form at Stamford Bridge recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Everton. In that game they had 74% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Everton who had 2 attempts and 1 on target.
Guardiola will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep The Citizens away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 21 goals in Manchester City's 16 league games this season.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Manchester City that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
The Citizens will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Chelsea, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 7 meetings between the two. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Chelsea have failed to score a single goal against The Citizens.
In the league, Man City has a good track record when they travel to Chelsea, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
In front of goal, Kevin De Bruyne has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Man City against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Armando Broja (Knee), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring), Wesley Fofana (Knee), Reece James (Knee), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Calf) and Édouard Mendy (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Man City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of this clash, with Rúben Dias (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Guardiola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
