Manchester City vs Chelsea: Confirmed team news for Premier League clash

The Chelsea team news has been confirmed ahead of their Saturday night clash against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won two of their last five games and visit a team that are currently unbeaten in their last 14 matches.

The Blues have not come out on top against City since their iconic Champions League final victory in 2021. Since then, there have been six losses and one draw, which came earlier in the season through a scintillating 4-4 game with Cole Palmer scoring a last-minute equaliser.

Sitting in 11th place going into the game, Chelsea will need to find an outstanding performance to get something from the game at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League clash will kick-off at 5:30pm (UK time) and will be available to watch live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

Here is the confirmed team news as Chelsea take on The Cityzens in Manchester.
