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

Forwards: We think Lamapard will stick with Olivier Giroud and leave Tammy Abraham on the bench. Despite ongoing contract talks, Willian will get the nod again with his pace and trickery vital in this Chelsea set-up. But we belive Ruben Loftus-Cheek will make way for goalscorer Christian Pulisic.

Predicted XI: Kepa; James, Rudiger, Zouma, Alonso: Mount, Kante, Barkley; Pulisic, Willian, Giroud.
