The Premier League title race has stepped up a gear, with Liverpool’s blip offering Manchester City an opportunity to claw themselves back into the driver’s seat.
Pep Guardiola’s side eased past Everton in midweek but will face a far more difficult proposition when they host Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues may have lost their mojo somewhat in recent weeks but Eden Hazard’s fledgeling partnership with Gonzalo Higuain has the capacity to cause City plenty of problems.
With matters so tight at the top – and the race for Champions League places closer than ever – neither side has room for error.
Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners the last time the pair faced each other, with goals from N’Golo Kante and David Luiz ending City’s unbeaten start to the season.
But things may well play out very differently this weekend. Will Guardiola have a plan to stifle Jorginho’s impact at the Etihad Stadium? And can the west Londoners figure out how to stop the two Silvas from dictating proceedings?
Check out Statman Dave’s tactical analysis above to find out who he is backing to come out on top in the battle between Sarriball and Guardiola’s own possession-based style.
