Their form has dipped at exactly the wrong moment, turning every remaining fixture into something close to a must-win scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Blues have taken just two home wins since Christmas and continue to struggle for control in big matches, while Manchester City have dominated this fixture in recent years. Chelsea are winless in their last 12 meetings with City in all competitions, a run that underlines the scale of the challenge they face this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester City arrive in West London off the back of a statement FA Cup win over Liverpool, a performance that showed exactly what Pep Guardiola\u2019s side are capable of when everything clicks. It was a reminder of their ceiling, but also of the level they need to maintain every week if they are to stay in the Premier League title conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is the gap at the top, with City potentially kicking off up to 12 points behind Arsenal. That leaves little margin for error, turning this fixture into a must respond moment rather than a routine away day. Anything less than three points would effectively end any realistic hopes of a late title charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-team-news\">Chelsea team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Levi Colwill, Jamie Gittens, Trevoh Chalobah and Enzo Fernadez will all miss the meeting with Manchester City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-man-city-team-news\">Man City team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are both out with injuries, while John Stones will be assessed before kick-off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-season-form-amp-standings\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Man City are second, 61 points from 30 games\u20142.03 points per match.
