Chelsea vs Manchester City live - Visitors lead after Mahrez strike

The manager has been explaining why Foden gets the nod ahead of Grealish tonight

It's fair to say Graham Potter hasn't quite got the results he'd have liked since taking charge of Chelsea. 16 games in and he's picked up eight wins. He knows that record needs to improve to pull back up towards the top four

They might not have lost, but Manchester City will certainly have seen their 1-1 draw with Everton last time out as two points dropped. That result means they're currently eight points behind Arsenal in the title race - will the claw back some of that ground tonight?

Chelsea completed the signing of Benoit Badiashile earlier on today, who penned a seven and a half year control (yes, you read that right, seven and a half years) after completing his move from Monaco. This game comes too soon for the new arrival, but you can read all about his transfer by clicking the link below

Pep Guardiola has made a whole host of changes. Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo, Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden come in for Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish following their 1-1 stalemate with Everton

Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech are back in the Chelsea starting line-up for the first time since helping Croatia and Morocco to the World Cup semi-finals. Both came on as substitutes in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, and they replace Mason Mount and Jorginho

CHELSEA: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Silva, Cucurella; Pulisic, Kovacic, Zakaria; Sterling, Havertz, Ziyech

Subs: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Humphreys, Hall, Chukwuemeka, Gallagher, Jorginho, Hutchinson, Aubameyang
