Following the latest team news from both managers we will be putting together Chelsea vs Manchester City predicted lineups for their super Sunday outing. This is a key clash in the Premier League as the Cityzens are hoping to keep pace with Arsenal atop the table with the number of games dwindling, the Blues find themselves in a scrap to secure Champions League football with everyone from fourth down in a bit of a race to be the most consistent of the inconsistent mess of teams in that part of the table.
According to PremierInjuries, Liam Rosenior could be without eight different players for this one. The most notable of these is Enzo Fernández, who was publicly suspended for two matches following comments he made over the international break with Argentina. He was out of the squad against Port Vale and is set to miss out here as well.
Captain Reece James is sidelined with an injury, as is Trevoh Chalobah, and Levi Colwill to impact the back line and the available depth there. Benoit Badiashile missed one match due to an illness and hasn’t been chosen since, even missing the FA Cup tie after a two-week break, his status is up in the air currently.
Filip Jorgensen is also dealing with a small issue that has kept him out of recent matchday squads. Rounding out the injury list is Jamie Gittens who has been dealing with an issue for months now while Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended indefinitely.
