Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Robert Sanchez – despite dropping another clanger against Wolves, the Spaniard is not expected to lose his place.
RB – Reece James – although the club’s medical staff will be keen to manage the captain’s minutes, a five-day gap means he should be ready to go again this weekend.
CB – Tosin Adarabioyo – the centre-back is beginning to establish himself as a key figure at the back for Chelsea. He is chipping in with a few goals too.
CB – Trevoh Chalobah – after being given the Player of the Match on Monday, the defender will be looking to follow it with another good performance against City.
LB – Marc Cucurella – the Spanish international will be tasked with keeping the in-form Phil Foden quiet.
