Pep Guardiola is likely to rotate for Manchester City’s crucial Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday (4pm BST).<\/b><\/p>\n

Manchester City Team News<\/h2>\n

City can secure their third successive title with victory over the Blues at the Etihad Stadium, though it will already be in the bag should Arsenal fail to beat Nottingham Forest the previous day.<\/p>\n

Rotation will be key for Guardiola over the next couple of weeks, with a Champions League final showdown with Inter to look forward to on June 10.<\/p>\n

The changes from the midweek rout of Real Madrid are likely to come further up the field, with Phil Foden among those eager for opportunities to impress.<\/p>\n

Julian Alvarez has started the last four league games with Riyad Mahrez in from the start in seven of the last eight, and both are likely to begin here with Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva dropping to the bench.<\/p>\n

Nathan Ake remains the Citizens’ only injury absentee with the defender nursing a thigh problem.<\/p>\n
