Reigning champions Manchester City will be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Chelsea on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's side were beaten 3-1 by league leaders Liverpool last time out and slipped down into fourth in the Premier League table as a result.
However, victory over third-placed Chelsea would see City leapfrog their opponents and prevent the Reds from widening the gap at the top of the league.
