Chelsea and Manchester City head into a crunch Premier League clash each concerned about gaps opening up ahead of them.

City were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton on New Year's Eve, meaning the Premier League champions have taken one point from their past two home matches, allowing an in-form Arsenal to open up an imposing advantage at the top of the table.

For Chelsea and their head coach Graham Potter, the worry is Champions League qualification running away from them as they sit in mid-table below neighbouring clubs Brentford and Fulham.

Here's everything you need to know about how and when to watch Chelsea vs. Manchester City and how the teams might line up.

Chelsea vs. Man City betting odds, prediction

City won each of the past two encounters at Stamford Bridge, swaggering to a 3-1 triumph in January 2021 to hasten Frank Lampard's demise before a deserved 1-0 victory in September that year to serve as a measure of revenge for Chelsea's win by the same scoreline in the 2021 Champions League final.

The west Londoners will hope to pick at any remaining scars from that Porto reverse, especially with City not being at the top of their game. Potter was keen to point out that City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was named man of the match when his side were beaten 2-0 in the Carabao Cup last month - a third consecutive victory and clean sheet in the fixture for Guardiola.

Prediction: City to win 2-0
