Team news
City
Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy remain out.
Mendy continues to struggle after undergoing knee surgery in November, despite making his comeback in the recent win at Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup.
And Kompany is yet to recover from the muscle problem he picked up in the win over Liverpool at the tun of the year.
Chelsea
Maurizio Sarri reports there are only a few little problems with his squad - Hudson-Odoi with a short fever and Cahill with his back. He hopes to have all players available for Sunday. #MCICHE

Last time out
City travelled to Stamford Bridge in December, losing 2-0 to the West London side, our first defeat of the season.
The home fixture last season saw us win 1-0 thanks to a goal from Bernardo Silva, a result that put us 18 points clear at the top of the table.
Pep’s preview
“People believed managers arrive at good clubs and immediately create something,” he said.
“My feeling when I saw Chelsea at Community Shield was they were already there.
“They have been exceptional. Final of Carabao Cup, in Europa League, and Premier League they are there.
“They are nine behind with one less game and in the FA Cup they are there as well.
“I see them play and I recognise exactly what they want to do.”
Maurizio Sarri preview
“We need to reduce the gap,” he said. “We need to work. You can either be the most competitive in the market or you can work. I don’t know any other way.
“The Premier League is very difficult. It’s not easy to win or even get to the Champions League We need to work, but I think they [Man City] are an example for every club.
“I think they are the best team in Europe.
“At the moment I don’t think [we are title contenders]. I think we can fight for the top four this season, no more. We can win something, of course, but the Premier League is now a fight between Manchester City and Liverpool.”
