Welcome back to Premier League action. Chelsea come in to this game in sixth, barely hanging on to top-five hopes. Manchester City come in second, but still in the title fight.
As amusing as it would be to play our part in Arsenal’s late season collapse, we need these three points just as badly. So let’s see if we can at least make it competitive for the visitors.
Liam Rosenior has picked almost the exact same lineup as the people’s choice, except for starting Jorrel Hato in defense instead of Mamadou Sarr.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Sánchez | Cucurella, Hato, Fofana, Gusto | Santos, Caicedo (c) | Neto, Palmer, Estêvão | João Pedro
Substitutes from: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Tosin, Sarr, Essugo, Lavia, Garnacho, Guiu, Delap
Manchester City starting XI:
Donnarumma | Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (c), Semenyo, Cherki, Doku, Haaland
Substitutes from: Trafford, Reijnders, Aké, Marmoush, Kovačić, Nico, Aït-Nouri, Savinho, Foden
