Chelsea vs Man City: Potter seeks a landmark victory in battle of the ... (BT)

Chelsea vs Manchester City preview, line-ups, predictions ahead of Premier League clash live on BT TV.

Phil Foden and Joao Cancelo, left out in recent weeks, are two examples of 'Pep Roulette' and the Man City boss suggested their absences have not been a tactical decision. Chelsea on Thursday is a huge test. But at the time I was raging, fuming, all of that. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kai Havertz and Armando Broja - before his serious injury - have all been played up front with little success. A genuine Premier League title race is a rollercoaster of emotions and Manchester City are in the thick of one at the moment. In midfield Potter chops and changes with Denis Zakaria, Mason Mount and Jorginho forming the three in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest since the Chelsea boss has reverted to four at the back. Four wins, three draws and four defeats in 11 Premier League games has made for a fairly disastrous start to life at Chelsea for Graham Potter. The England winger has scored just four in 14 Premier League games and is struggling for form at his new club. The 28-year-old left Man City after seven years at the Etihad after becoming frustrated with his lack of game time in Guardiola's constantly rotating system. Chelsea take on Manchester City this Thursday in the Premier League with both sides desperate for a result in west London. Raheem Sterling is poised to face off against his old employers for the first time in the Premier League this season after swapping light blue for royal blue in the summer.

Manchester City are hoping to capitalise on Arsenal's slip against Newcastle to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to ...

It might be scary seeing that he only has two goals this season so far in Premier League play but, if anyone on the team is due, it's the Germany midfielder. He's due for an assist, and this is a game he should thrive in. De Bruyne has scored a goal in four of his last five Premier League appearances against the Blues, adding an assist as well. He has failed to score in three of those. Haaland has played in 15 Premier League matches this season. What's worse is that Guardiola has owned both Chelsea and Graham Potter of late. The teams they have kept clean sheets against are West Ham, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Southampton and Leicester City. There are a host of injuries for Chelsea to work around. Full-back issues are especially limiting for Graham Potter, who looks to be going with Christian Pulisic and Marc Cucurella in wide roles against City. Despite the heavyweight nature of this match, it features quite a one-sided odds sheet – and for good reason. A result against Pep Guardiola's side could be the signature result needed, but it will likely require an excellent performance to achieve that – something Chelsea have arguably not produced since October. Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland could be Chelsea's grim reaper, running away with the Golden Boot race in record-setting fashion.

Chelsea vs Man City: Preview (Chelsea FC)

The wait for the first home game of 2023 is almost over, and it is a big game in the Blues' quest to climb the Premier League table…

As things stand, the Blues are one of just seven host clubs (24 per cent) to have tasted victory on home soil (by beating Bournemouth 2-0) in the 29 matches played since Boxing Day. Among the victories in that run was Man City’s visit to the Bridge on 25 June 2020, which ended in a 2-1 win for the hosts. The only previous teams to have managed that are Blackburn (1993-96) and Arsenal (2021-present). The Republic of Ireland international later compounded his miserable afternoon by skying a penalty, while also volleying a clearance into his own face. For three points at Stamford Bridge we have to go back to June of the Covid-affected 2019/20 season. In fact, since April 2018 the Blues have played 25 fixtures on this day of the week across all competitions, losing only once. That said, the Blues have lost each of the past three meetings with City since our Champions League final success against them in Porto almost two years ago. The summer signing’s first league goal since August was a major positive from Sunday’s draw, as were impressive first minutes back off the bench from [Mateo Kovacic](/en/teams/profile/mateo-kovacic) and from [Hakim Ziyech](/en/teams/profile/hakim-ziyech), who continued his World Cup form to create a potentially match-winning chance that tantalisingly eluded [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](/en/teams/profile/pierre-emerick-aubameyang). Guardiola started with a 3-4-3 formation against the Toffees and was mildly critical of his players’ performance, suggesting he will look at ‘body language’ in training before selecting a starting 11. Equally, as a coach Pep Guardiola has not lost to any club more than he has the Londoners (eight times). In some of those games the champions misplaced their usual front-foot verve when attacking, and deep-defending Everton’s draw at the Etihad was surprisingly comfortable. Pep Guardiola’s side usually rise to the occasion against the Premier League’s best teams, winning 6-3 at home to cross-town rivals Man United.

Chelsea vs Manchester City: How to watch live, stream link, team news (NBC Sports)

Chelsea hosts Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Thursday as two Premier League heavyweights collide hoping to get back on track.

The Gunners could be just two points clear of Man City at kickoff, but they could also have a chance to stretch their table advantage as high as eight. Spurs have not lost a home Premier League derby to Arsenal in eight-straight, with only two draws and the last one coming in March 2019. Chelsea has some work to do while surprising Fulham and Brighton are hanging around on the periphery and are having fine campaigns. As for City, they make eight changes to the team which lost at Southampton in midweek as Haaland and De Bruyne are tasked with unlocking this suddenly very stingy United defense. No big chances yet but City are dominating possession with United happy to sit back and play direct. His cross is blocked and then a cross is swung in but Ederson saves the header. 18, while Manchester City host Tottenham on Thursday, Jan. Manchester United travel to Crystal Palace on Wednesday, Jan. Jack Grealish had put City ahead after jumping off the bench but late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford grabbed the win for United. Man City’s Erling Haaland continues to score goals at an alarming rate as he has 21 so far in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola knows his team will take a little while to get back up to speed as so many played at the World Cup and this trip to Chelsea will be a great opportunity to get back to their best and prove they are more than capable of chasing down league-leaders Arsenal. 12 for a PL match while City goes to Southampton in the League Cup.

Follow the latest updates as Chelsea host Manchester City in a huge Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.

There's a big blow for Chelsea who are without Mason Mount, the midfielder having suffered an injury in training. The Chelsea way. Kevin De Bruyne hangs in a deep cross from the left, Ake gets his head to it in front of Rodri, but the ball comes back off the outside of the post and Chelsea clear. He's not missed a league game for Graham Potter all season, and his absence leaves the home side looking light in midfield. Christian Pulisic is unable to continue and goes off, with Carney Chukwuemeka on in his stead for just his fifth league appearance for the club. That would set a new unwanted record for the City boss. He found Kai Havertz, who slid the ball into the box to tee up Christian Pulisic for a shot, but Stones made a brilliant sliding challenge to intervene. Unfortunately for the Blues, Pulisic seems to be hurt as a result. Suddenly, City have an overload in the Chelsea box: De Bruyne picks out Jack Grealish, and his low cross from the left is tapped in at the far post by Mahrez. The goalkeeper collides with Ziyech and the covering Manuel Akanji, and the ball runs safe for City. and the referee brings the game to an end! Kevin De Bruyne pops up in the right channel this time and fires the ball across goal.

He takes a touch and smashes a shot wide of the near post. Bernardo Silva beats Cucurella thrillingly on the right, not once but twice before pushing the ball back to De Bruyne on the edge of the area. Ederson comes miles out of his goal, doesn’t get the ball and is very relieved to see Akanji get to it before Havertz. [Chelsea](https://www.theguardian.com/football/chelsea) – and Arsenal. He might have pushed the ball out to an onrushing forward, Beast maybe, but that’s better than letting it roll behind you when somebody has an open goal. They’ve been fantastic in the second half. Kyle Walker got one point tonight, and I had Mitoma on the bench an’ all. “Meanwhile Cancelo, Walker and Foden all fighting over the magic sponge to valet his motor.” 85 min Chelsea have been much better in the last 20 minutes. The impressive Chukwuemeka ran half the length of the field before easing the ball outside to Hall on the left side of the area. City move to within five points of Arsenal after a hard-fought victory at Stamford Bridge. In previous years we’ve gone on big winning runs and we’ve got to keep the momentum going.
