The top two in the Premier League meet in the early kick off on Saturday afternoon as Manchester City host Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola's men are 10 points clear of the Blues and a win this weekend would surely be the definitive blow in the Premier League title race, even at this early stage of the season.
Chelsea were beaten 1-0 when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in September, although the team from west London ran out 2-1 winners on their most recent visit to the Etihad Stadium last May.

City are recovering from an outbreak of Covid-19, with up to seven unnamed members of the squad being affected. Riyad Mahrez will miss out due to international commitments at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Ederson is likely to return in goal having sat out the FA Cup win over Swindon.
Predicted Man City starting XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Jesus, Foden

Manchester City are odds-on favourites to beat Chelsea at 13/20 with bet365. At 4/1 to win, Chelsea are considered clear outsiders.
Romelu Lukaku is the shortest priced player to be first goalscorer at 11/2, while Gabriel Jesus can be backed at 6/1.
Four of Chelsea's last five Premier League matches have ended as draws and another stalemate is available at 3/1.

City's triumph against Swindon Town in the FA Cup was their 12th consecutive domestic victory and Guardiola's men are in ominous form.
The Christmas period was highly successful for the Manchester outfit as they extended their lead at the top of the table to double figures while Chelsea continued to slip up.
Thomas Tuchel's team can afford no more blips if they want to keep alive their chances of being crowned champions of England and the onus will surely be on the visitors this Saturday to come out and win the game.
