3 key battles as Manchester City host Chelsea in the Premier League

David Luiz v Sergio Aguero

David Luiz has been excellent at the heart of the Chelsea back three this season, but he’ll come up against one of the best strikers in the league in Sergio Aguero on Saturday.

The City forward has scored 16 goals in 18 games this season, including ten in the Premier League, and netted both in their 2-1 win over Burnley last week.

Conte has given Luiz huge responsibility in the middle of the back three, and is likely to do so again on Saturday.

It will be up to him to remain disciplined and positionally aware at the Etihad as, like Aguero has proven so many times before, the slight glimmer of a chance could be in the back of the net.
