MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

This will be the third meeting this season, and they will also face each other in the League Cup final on 24 February. City won 2-0 in August's Community Shield, while Chelsea were 2-0 victors in December's reverse league fixture

Manchester City have lost 25 Premier League matches versus Chelsea, more than against any other opponent.

Chelsea are the only side to win more than two top-flight fixtures against a team managed by Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City

City have the division's best home record this season, with 12 wins from 13 games.

They could become the first club to score multiple goals in 15 consecutive top-flight home fixtures since Tottenham had a run of 16 in a row from March to December 1965.

Pep Guardiola's side have scored 27 goals in their past five games at the Etihad Stadium in all competitions.

Manchester City have dropped 16 points this season, two more than in the whole of 2017-18.

Three of their four league defeats this season came after they scored the opening goal.

Sergio Aguero has 22 goals in his 15 most recent Premier League starts at home, scoring in each of the last six.

Chelsea

The Blues could equal the club Premier League record of failing to score in three consecutive away fixtures, set from December 1992 to January 1993 and matched in April 2002.

They could lose four successive away matches in all competitions for the first time since a run of five in a row from January to March last year.

Their most recent away goal was N'Golo Kante's 51st-minute winner at Crystal Palace on 30 December - 309 minutes ago.

Chelsea are winless in six Premier League away fixtures against established top-six rivals, losing each of the last four.

Gonzalo Higuain has scored 38 goals in 37 league appearances under Maurizio Sarri.

Remember what was said to Raz......the vermin filth......the guy said he screamed "Manc Cunt"......even though we know he didn't

CTID, I cringe at the orange digital displays at the ground that float similar stuff during the game, just asking for it in my opinion

Happy with the lineup, Gundo has been better than Silva in recent weeks and the extra protection in the middle is needed.

COME ON CITY!!!

Very surprised to see the Zinch in the line-up. He's not even been on the bench the last few weeks.

I like the lad a lot, but mostly against bottom half sides when we have 75% possession. I'm afraid Pedro will year him apart.
