Line-up
Manchester City vs Chelsea Starting XI Lineup: Loftus-Cheek, Enzo, Gallagher, Hall, Sterling, Havertz all Start #MCICHE
There are five changes to the Chelsea side to take on Manchester City this afternoon.
Wesley Fofana returns to centre-back as we look to move to a three-man defence. Cesar Azpilicueta returns and starts at right wing-back.
Lewis Hall continues to keep his place, with fellow left-backs Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella ruled out through injury. Benoit Badiashile is another man in the treatment room, due to a groin injury picked up in training at Cobham.
Raheem Sterling is in from the off against his former side, and for the first time at the Etihad Stadium since departing last summer.
Chelsea (3-5-2): Kepa; W.Fofana, Thiago Silva, Chalobah; Azpilicueta (c), Loftus-Cheek, Enzo, Gallagher, Hall; Sterling, Havertz.
Subs: Mendy, Koulibaly, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Mudryk, Ziyech, Pulisic, D.Fofana, Joao Felix.
Manchester City: Ortega, Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Lewis, Phillips, Palmer, Mahrez, Foden, Alvarez.
Subs: Ederson, Dias, Stones, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Haaland.
