Pep Guardiola's side moved back to the top of the table on Wednesday with a victory over Everton but will be knocked off top spot if Liverpool avoid defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be keen to take all three points to stay ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for fourth place.

Match Preview

Manchester City's resources will be tested against Chelsea, as they are set to face their third Premier League match in a week. The champions beat Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday and followed that up with a 2-0 victory at Everton.

Guardiola revealed he will be without Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy for the match:

The City boss also said "it's quite possible" midfielder Kevin De Bruyne may not start Sunday's clash, per Charlotte Duncker at the Manchester Evening News.

Manchester City head into the game on a strong run of form, with 10 wins from their past 11 games in all competitions. However, they were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in December and can't afford many more slip-ups if they are to retain their title.

Chelsea head into the match fresh from thrashing Huddersfield Town 5-0. The match saw January signing Gonzalo Higuain score his first goals since joining on loan from Juventus.

Manager Maurizio Sarri has been impressed with the striker's link-up play with Eden Hazard:

Chelsea can take confidence from their record against defending Premier League champions. They are unbeaten in seven fixtures against the previous season's title winners and have won their past three in a row, per the league's official website.

The Blues will need Higuain and Hazard to be at their best if they are to take anything from the Etihad, which has proved to be a fortress again this season.

Crystal Palace are the only team to have taken points off City at home in the league this term, and the Citizens have scored 29 goals in six home games in all competitions in 2019.
