Chelsea’s Predicted XI vs Manchester City: We predict Frank Lampard’s starting XI as his side try and maintain their five-point gap over top-four rivals

Defenders: Despite his back four putting in a decent display at Villa Park, many managers have been rotating their squads due to fitness since the return to football and we expect Lampard to do the same. Antonio Rudiger will keep his place in the side, but we expect Kurt Zouma to play alongside him and Reece James to get a start alongside Marcus Alonso.
