About the fixture...

Chelsea come into this fixture in great form, having not lost in their last seven games and scoring 14 goals in their last four. This sees the London club sitting second in the table, a point and two places above their opponents Man City.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men on the other hand have recovered well from their humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich at the start of the month and are yet to lose in their last three games, with Sergio Aguero in particular looking in red hot form.
