Chelsea have enjoyed a week off after beating Wolves earlier in the week, their first Premier League win since Christmas. The Blues were tipped as title contenders at the start of December, but a winless run has brought them back down to earth.
Coach Enzo Maresca and his team will aim for a more realistic goal of entering the top 4. At this time, their position is being threatened by Man City, when Chelsea is only 2 points ahead of their opponent.
That would also be the most likely destination for City this season. A collapse in late 2024 would also end Pep Guardiola's title challenge. The team's performance improved in 2025, but they only finished fifth in the table.
City head into the game against Chelsea following a 4-2 defeat to PSG in midweek. The hosts' morale will be affected, but Chelsea cannot be too confident either as they have failed to win in their last 10 meetings with the Citizens in all competitions.
In the first leg, City easily won 2-0 in the opening match of the season.
