City’s victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday has put them level on points with the Blues and Jose Mourinho will be keen for another win in Staffordshire.
Here is how we expect them to lineup.
GK – Thibaut Courtois
After two matches out through injury the goalkeeper should return between the sticks and replace Petr Cech.
RB – Branislav Ivanovic
Is arguably the best right-back in the league and a key part of Mourinho’s side.
CB – Gary Cahill
Really looks like the long-term successor as captain and appears to grow with confidence in every passing match.
CB – John Terry
The skipper perfectly compliments Cahill and is a rock at the back.
LB – Cesar Azpilicueta
Despite Filipe Luis impressing midweek expect Azpilicueta to resume his role on the left.
CM – Cesc Fabregas
Has more assists than any other player in the league currently and pulls all the creative strings.
CM – Nemanja Matic
With Fabregas heading forward this Serbian protects the back line and is crucial to any success the team may have.
RM – Willian
Andre Schurrle is trying to break into the starting XI currently, but Mourinho still prefers this Brazil international.
CAM – Oscar
Taking up the No.10 position is this South American who is yet to truly live up to his potential.
LM – Eden Hazard
Has arguably been the best player in the team this season and will be a real danger down the left flank.
ST – Diego Costa
Finally, leading the line will be Costa despite the fact both Didier Drogba and Loic Remy are fit and looking for game time.
