Man City vs Chelsea live early team news plus kick-off time and how to watch
Manchester City will hope to bounce back from the midweek defeat at Paris Saint-Germain by overtaking Chelsea and moving into the top four on Saturday evening.
City threw away a 2-0 lead in Paris in the Champions League on Wednesday night to lose 4-2 and leave their qualification hopes going down to the last matchday. But attention must turn to the Premier League as Chelsea will be looking to capitalise on the midweek result and strengthen their hold on fourth place.
Ruben Dias is sidelined with an abductor issue picked up in midweek while Jeremy Doku is also sidelined. John Stones returned which is a boost, but he is unlikely yo be risked from the start. New signings Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush will all be involved but it remains to be seen whether any will be thrown in from the start. Cole Palmer will be looking to impress again on his return to the Etihad for Chelsea.

City have been busy in the transfer market this week, confirming the £122m triple-signing of Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis to strengthen their options.
All three are in contention to feature today and make their debuts, with Marmoush the most likely ahead of the young centre-back pair.
Marmoush has 20 goals this season already, so could provide some instant attacking intent if selected.
It will be fascinating to see if any new faces do make their debuts and also where they play should they get on the pitch.
