Manchester City vs Chelsea LIVE. A huge Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium tonight is the headline act of the Premier League weekend as two giants of the English game face off in an intriguing battle under the lights. City put six past Ipswich last time out to suggest they have finally started clicking again, only to let a two-goal lead slip in defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

Chelsea appear to have overcome their own wobble by beating Wolves last weekend, ending their five-game winless run in the process, but a trip to City poses an entirely different test. It’s been almost four years since Chelsea beat Man City - picking the right time to do it in the Champions League final - with City winning eight of the next 10 meetings.

Both teams are struggling with injuries, while City could hand debuts to Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, their trio of January signings. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Malik Ouzia at the Etihad Stadium.
Chelsea will be without Romeo Lavia and Joao Felix today. Belgian international Lavia, who endured a torrid first campaign at Stamford Bridge last term due to injury, has a muscle problem. He picked up the issue against Bournemouth last week and missed Monday night’s 3-1 win over Wolves.
On Friday, Blues boss Enzo Maresca revealed Lavia has failed to recover from that injury and will be out for weeks, but that Levi Colwill (knock) and Enzo Fernandez (muscle fatigue) are both in line to return against City after also missing the Wolves win.
