Comments and predictions for Man City vs Chelsea: Attack and defense destroy

Latest Man City vs Chelsea squad information

City are without centre-back Ruben Dias due to an adductor injury against PSG, and he will miss the Chelsea game. Nathan Ake, Jeremy Doku, Oscar Bobb and Rodri are also out. Kyle Walker is also expected to join AC Milan. City have signed three new players, Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, who could all make their debuts against Chelsea. However, Guardiola may not risk starting them right away. Jack Grealish will get a chance to start after shining in midweek, although Savinho could still be the first choice. Kevin De Bruyne could start behind Erling Haaland in attack.

Chelsea also have personnel problems. Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Mykhaylo Mudryk are still sidelined. Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernandez are also likely to miss the game due to injuries. Manager Maresca still has faith in goalkeeper Robert Sanchez despite his many mistakes. Reece James is still not fully fit, so Malo Gusto could start at full-back. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could partner Moises Caicedo in midfield if Fernandez is absent. Jadon Sancho could be given priority on the wing due to Madueke and Pedro Neto's poor form, while Cole Palmer continues to play in the attacking midfield position, just behind striker Nicolas Jackson.
