This is the big poster for the 12th day of the Premier League. Chelsea host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. After their furious victory in north London against Spurs (1-4), the Blues are preparing to face another ogre of the championship who will not be asked to open a slight gap on his competitors. The Cityzens, leaders of England, must take advantage of Tottenham’s defeat against Wolves (2-1) by perhaps achieving a sixth TCC success in a row. A match that promises to be Dantesque, here are the probable line-ups.
A very likely usual 4-3-3 for Pochettino with Sanchez in goal. James, back in the XI against Spurs, on the right, followed by Disasi in the center and Thiago Silva. On the left, Colwill starts with a head start on Cucurella. Less doubts in the middle. Enzo, Caicedo and Gallagher should hold their place. On the wings, two former City players: Palmer and Sterling. At the forefront, Jackson, author of a hat-trick last Monday. While waiting for the returns of Lavia and Nkunku. Pep Guardiola shouldn’t revolutionize his system either. Ederson in the cages, Walker and Gvardiol on the lanes. Stones absent, Akanji should support Dias. Rodri and Kovacic, the former Blues, in the midfield. Then, an offensive armada composed of Silva, Alvarez and Haaland in front. Doku could be preferred to Grealish on the left side after his superb performance against Bournemouth (6-1). Last season, Manchester City won twice against Chelsea. Twice with the same score (0-1 and 1-0). Time for revenge for Londoners? Response from 5:30 p.m.
