Manchester City vs Chelsea (LIVE UPDATES): Guardiola plots to overtake Blues

byTunde Eludini

Pep Guardiola will be looking to leapfrog Chelsea as Manchester City play host to the Blues at the Etihad Stadium this evening in the star fixture of the weekend in the Premier League.

City are sitting one point adrift of the Blues on the table and would need a victory to overtake Frank Lampard’s men as well as stay within reach of table toppers, Liverpool.

While City succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool before the international break, Chelsea make the trip to the north-west having recorded six successive victories in the top flight.

Saturday’s showdown will represent the 164th competitive encounter between the two clubs, with Chelsea having recorded 67 wins in comparison to 56 victories for City.

That nonetheless, Guardiola’s side have registered four wins and clean sheets in the last six outings against Chelsea.

City also got the better of the Blues on penalties in last season’s EFL Cup final after a goalless draw.

To a certain extent, many would agree Chelsea are carrying no pressure heading into the contest.

However, Lampard knows that his players have a chance to move four points clear of City in the table, a margin which would have been regarded as extremely unrealistic a few months ago.
