Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side travel to the Eithad Stadium on the crest of a very large wave. Look closely and you’ll see Diego Costa surfing the tube with ease. What a start to his Premier League career!

Team News

Manchester City

This one comes just too soon for the return of Stefan Jovetic, his recovery from a hamstring injury needing another week’s rest. Fernando is definitely out but Manuel Pellegrini has no other injury concerns in the wake of City’s Champions League opener.

Yaya Toure should return after missing the Arsenal match because of returning late from international duty. Frank Lampard is set to make way against his old side.

Chelsea

Chelsea’s talisman Didier Drogba will drop back to the bench to accommodate the return of Diego Costa. With a 100 percent record going into ths game, and no injury concerns, it’s higly unlikely that Jose Mourinho will play tinkerman for such an important fixture.

Possible Line-Ups

Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Nasri, Aguero.

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, Matic, Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Costa.

Interesting Facts

Chelsea have left the blue half of Manchester with a win on only two occasions in all competitions over the last six years.

For those saying Chelsea will run riot against Manchester city, it's a disrespect to the quality Manchester City have in their squad combine.
I think 1-1 draw is enough.
