Fixture: Chelsea vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has announced his starting eleven and substitutes for his side’s Premier League clash against champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge later this evening.
Sarri has continued to stick with the back-four of Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Marcos Alonso in defence. Jorginho will start at the base of the midfielder, with N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic on his either side.
Eden Hazard will lead the line for Chelsea, with Pedro and Willian playing on either flank as Sarri looks to get the best out of his attack. Ross Barkley, Olivier Giroud, Cesc Fabregas and Andreas Christensen are some of the options the Chelsea boss has on the bench.
Alvaro Morata is not in the squad.
Chelsea have lost two of their last four league games and the Italian will look to get a response from his side against the best team in the Premier League in Manchester City.
