Chelsea vs Manchester City prediction as Graham Potter handed boost for Premier League clash

Chelsea host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge tonight. The Blues are ninth in the Premier League table. They won on their return to action following the World Cup. Manchester United drew with Chelsea at Old Trafford in October. Pep Guardiola's side won against Leeds United and drew against Everton. City are overwhelming favourites. Statisticians give Chelsea just 24% chance of winning and a 23% of a draw. Erling Haaland has scored three times since the return of action. Kevin De Bruyne has not been in good form.

Chelsea have been boosted by the return of Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Ben Chilwell is edging closer to a return. Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante and Armando Broja remain sidelined. Rubens Dias is ruled out of the match with a hamstring injury. Aymeric Laporte will be assessed in training this afternoon.
