Chelsea v Manchester Citypredictions
November looked as though it might be the cruellest month for Chelsea as they faced a run of five fixtures against the top eight teams in the Premier League.
However, they kicked off that sequence with a dramatic 4-1 triumph at Tottenham on Monday and the positive vibes can continue in Sunday's home clash with Manchester City.
The Blues endured a choppy start to the campaign and went into the Spurs game under a fair amount of pressure.
Injuries blighted Chelsea over the first three months of Mauricio Pochettino's reign but they had the majority of their big players available for Monday's trip to Tottenham and we may see a truer picture of the Blues' ability in the coming weeks.
Certainly their reinforcements had a significant impact on Monday as Chelsea fought back after going a goal down early on when Spurs were playing some scintillating football.
Chelsea's discomfort in playing against nine men was strange to see but the way they responded when it was still 11 versus 11 was perhaps a sign of their long-term potential.
Pochettino's side have already lost too much ground to be considered title contenders but they are likely to take some big scalps over the rest of the season and will fancy their chances of giving City a decent game.
The champions returned to the top of the Premier League after last Saturday's 6-1 demolition of Bournemouth and they have coped superbly with Kevin De Bruyne's lengthy absence.
However, the Belgian playmaker has still not returned to any form of training and City have some massive tests coming up as this trip to Chelsea is followed by home matches against Liverpool and Tottenham.
All of the Citizens' three defeats this season have come on the road but they have a strong recent record against the Blues, who they have beaten 1-0 in the last four Premier League meetings.
City have kept six successive clean sheets against Chelsea since losing 1-0 to the Londoners in the 2021 Champions League final.
Chelsea have gone through a tough couple of years since their memorable triumph in Portugal but there were plenty of positive signs from them on Monday and they may be ready to end their losing run against Pep Guardiola's side.

Chelsea v Manchester City bet builder predictions
Chelsea or draw double chance
Chelsea have avoided defeat in three matches against top four teams this season and they can complete the set by taking at least a point against Manchester City.
Nicolas Jackson to score any time
Jackson will be full of confidence after his hat-trick against Tottenham and his pace could expose Manchester City's high defensive line.
Rodri to be shown a card
Rodri has a big part to play in snuffing out Chelsea counter-attacks and he may struggle to avoid a collecting fifth card of the Premier League season
