This is the final game in a very tough week for Manchester City. They sit in the best possible position they could have been in, after taking six points with victories against Arsenal and Everton.
Pep Guardiola and his side know that they need to complete the set with a victory against Chelsea on Sunday. Liverpool are anticipated to bounce back from their slight drop in form and beat Bournemouth, who are missing both Callum Wilson and David Brooks.
This means that on Sunday, City could be three points behind Liverpool again, thus needing a win against Chelsea.
The players will be up for the big game on Sunday because after having worked so hard to get back within a sniff of the title, it would be disappointing to witness a substandard performance. It could, also, throw away their hard work in the race for Premier League glory.
However, that is what pressure does to any side and we will see if Guardiola’s men have what it takes.
Here’s our predicted line-up for the game.
