Manchester City vs. Chelsea, Premier League: You choose the starting lineup – We Ain’t Got No History
Filed under:Manchester City vs. Chelsea, Premier League: You choose the starting lineupChelsea’s tenuous hold on fourth place will get a massive test this weekend as we head north to take on Manchester City at the Etihad. We’ve not had much, if any luck there in recent memory, having won just once since 2016 there.But this is far from a (modern-)vintage City team, and suddenly they’re looking very stale and very old. These things often happen to dynasties. Before a recent upturn, they had managed just one win in 13 in all competitions. And while they had then gone six unbeaten, they coughed up a two-goal lead once again midweek, going on to lose 4-2 to PSG in the Champions League.Speaking of the Champions League, getting back into there is the highest priority of the season, both competitively and financially. which makes this game a top-four six-pointer.Unfortunately, our injury list is trending in the wrong direction as well, with Roméo Lavia joining Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile among the long-term casualties, and Enzo Fernández and Levi Colwill remaining questionable after missing out completely on Monday. Cole Palmer played through those 90 minutes on an injured ankle, and was less impactful on the game as a result.And with the transfer market hotting up, we are likely to now be without the services of Juventus-bound Renato Veiga as well, who joins Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei (and Ben Chilwell) in the exit waiting room.Choose wisely!
