This is the shock of this 20th day of the Premier League. Manchester City hosts a Chelsea in turmoil on their Etihad Stadium pitch (a match to be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 6:30 p.m.). Indeed, after a draw against Bournemouth, the Blues and Enzo Maresca decided to end their collaboration. Furthermore, Pep Guardiola’s men must win in order to stay in the title race with Arsenal, but also a very surprising Aston Villa.
The Spanish tactician therefore relies on a 4-2-3-1 in which Cherki starts from the start. He will be responsible for providing Haaland with good balls. The double pivot will be made up of Rodri and Bernardo while Nunes moves back a notch and occupies the right-back position. For his part, Callum McFarlane, the interim coach of the Londoners, uses the same system. The two Frenchmen Badiashile and Gusto are present in the defensive line of 4. Jorgensen finds a starting place in goal for the first time since the 5th day, for the benefit of Robert Sanchez. The Brazilian nugget Estevao will have to set fire to the right wing.
The official compositions:
Manchester City: Donnarumma – Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly – Rodri, Bernardo – Reijnders, Foden, Cherki – Haaland
Chelsea: Jorgensen – Acheampong, Badiashile, Chalobah, Gusto – James, Enzo – Estevao, Palmer, Neto – Joao Pedro
