Fixture: Manchester City vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has named his starting eleven and substitutes for his side's league clash against Manchester City this afternoon at the Etihad Stadium.

With Chelsea on a wonderful run of form, Conte has decided against tinkering too much with his starting eleven and has gone with his tried and tested back three of David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta.




The midfield will be marshalled by the duo of Cesc Fabregas, who replaces Nemanja Matic in the team, and N’Golo Kante, with Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso occupying the wing-back areas on either side. Diego Costa will continue to lead the line for the Blues with Eden Hazard and Pedro on the wings. Conte has the attacking options of using Michy Batshuayi, Willian and Oscar from the bench.

Chelsea will look to continue their good run of form and pick up another win at the Etihad in order to maintain top spot in the Premier League table.
