Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City host Premier League leaders Chelsea in what is set to be a thrilling encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Guardiola’s men have won three of their last four league games, but haven’t won a home league game since September 24, with Everton, Southampton, and Middlesbrough all taking a point away from their trip to Eastlands.
