The march to the Premier League title continues for Manchester City, and one of the most difficult matches left in the calendar happens this Sunday at the Etihad when the Blues welcome defending champions Chelsea for a huge game. Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte always give us entertaining 90 minutes inside the pitch and in the touchline, and it shouldn’t be any different in this one.

A win here is crucial for City, who will be 19 points clear at the top of the table before Manchester United play on Monday, so three points against Chelsea will pretty much guarantee the title and allow the leaders to focus on the Champions League. For Chelsea, an upset at the Etihad will give them a huge lift in their fight for a top-four finish, so expect a pretty good game.

POSSIBLE LINEUPS

Man City (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Danilo; De Bruyne, Gundogan; Bernardo, Silva, Sané; Agüero

Chelsea (3-4-3): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rüdiger; Moses, Kanté, Fàbregas, Alonso; Willian, Hazard, Pedro

PREDICTION

This will be a pretty good game, and City will come out on top: 3-1 to the home Blues.
