Preview
Conte's start to life in England has been breathtaking, and he has transformed his Chelsea team from underachievers into genuine title challengers.
The Italian has been openly passionate from the technical area, and his verve and desire have quickly rubbed off on his players.
Now Chelsea face the ultimate test as they travel to the north-west to challenge Guardiola's outfit, and the Sky Blues will be desperate to take maximum points at home.
City have struggled to finish off opponents at Eastlands, and Chelsea will feel they can score against a defence that have not found their feet this term.
John Stones still appears the defender he was last year at Everton—young, inexperienced and with lots to learn—and he stands little chance against Diego Costa in current form.
OptaJoe highlighted the task at hand for Guardiola after the lightning start from the league leaders:
Yaya Toure is back in the fold for City, and the midfielder appears fitter and trimmer to the eye than he's looked for many months. Toure will add power to his team's slick attacking threat, and he provides Guardiola with an auxiliary goal threat if Sergio Aguero is squeezed out of proceedings.
If City and Chelsea draw, the door will be opened for Liverpool, who could assume the lead in the title race if they prevail at Bournemouth.
However, the Reds will need to play on without playmaker Philippe Coutinho, who will be missing through injury, per Squawka News:
Coutinho has been pivotal for Jurgen Klopp this season and has made a splash in the international arena with Brazil.
The talent has five goals and five assists in the Premier League this term, according to WhoScored.com, and he will be dearly missed by his team-mates in the period ahead. MailOnline confirmed Coutinho will be out for up to six weeks.
Manchester United hope to kickstart their campaign as they travel to Merseyside to battle Everton at Goodison Park.
The Toffees always provide the Red Devils with a tough game, home and away, and Jose Mourinho will be urging his players to repeat the recent EFL Cup quarter-final performance that saw his side deconstruct West Ham in a 4-1 win.
United have slowly improved their performances in the past few games and are beginning to resemble the true face of a Mourinho outfit.
Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have taken their opportunities at centre-back, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan finally appears ready to be a starter after his transfer from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
Paul Pogba should return for the Red Devils after serving a one-game suspension against the Hammers, further strengthening Mourinho's core against a dogged opponent on Sunday.
