Chelsea are looking to get a Premier League double over Manchester City this afternoon as they take on the current champions at the Etihad Stadium. The Blues smashed Huddersfield Town 5-0 last weekend, but this will be a completely different task against a side looking to push for the title once again and looking to put Liverpool under real pressure themselves. Maurizio Sarri's side also slipped out of the top four courtesy of Manchester United comfortably seeing off Fulham 3-0 yesterday, so the Blues need at least a point to get themselves back in the Champions League places with just 12 games to go. The Blues boss has therefore gone for his usual side against the bigger teams as he looks to try to get his side to build on the win over the Terriers. Antonio Rudiger comes back into the side to partner David Luiz in defence, with Marcos Alonso keeping his place at left-back and Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back. Kepa Arrizabalaga is in goal, while Jorginho is in his usual place with N'Golo Kante playing on the right of the midfield in the 4-3-3. Ross Barkley completes the midfield Gonzalo Higuain starts up top with Eden Hazard on the left and Pedro on the right. Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuain, Hazard. Subs: Caballero, Kovacic, Giroud, Christensen, Willian, Loftus-Cheek, Emerson.
