Champions Chelsea could only earn a single point in their opening Premier League game against Swansea.
Now, the Blues face arguably their biggest title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Citizens comfortably won their opening PL fixture against West Brom thanks to an impressive performance by Ivorian star Yaya Toure. He will be vital in today’s game.
As far as Chelsea’s team news is concerned, Belgian goalie Courtois is suspended and summer signing Asmir Begovic starts in goal.
On the other hand, there is one more change in the starting XI that played against the Swans last weekend. Brazilian star Oscar is out with a muscular injury and has been replaced by his compatriot Ramires in the starting lineup.
Summer signing Radamel Falcao is on the bench again and the Spaniard Diego Costa retains his place as the lone striker upfront for the Blues.
Here is Chelsea’s confirmed starting XI formation vs Man City.
