The 3 key battles as Chelsea host Manchester City this evening

David Luiz vs Sergio Aguero

Many people will be keeping a very close eye on the battle between David Luiz and Sergio Aguero at Stamford Bridge this evening.

That’s because it was the Argentine striker who got sent off for an awful challenge on the Chelsea defender when the two sides met back in December, and it’s a tackle the Brazilian is still feeling the effect of even now according to his boss.

And that should make things interesting given that City’s Aguero has been in decent form in recent weeks, having netted eight goals in his last eight games in all competitions.

And when you consider that Conte’s Blues haven’t kept a clean sheet in the league since the end of January, Luiz will have to be somewhere near the level he showed at the Etihad to keep the Argentine under wraps this evening.

There is obviously some needle between the two following the previous meeting, so expect quite the battle at Stamford Bridge tonight.
