The Citizens have gone 7-1-0 in Premier League play since dropping a 1-0 decision to Aston Villa on Dec. 6. The club is led offensively by Erling Haaland, who is first in the EPL with 16 goals after ending his four-game drought during league play with a brace in Man City's victory against Everton. It was the fifth multi-goal performance of the season by the 23-year-old Norwegian striker and first since he converted twice in the first meeting with the Blues.

Midfielder Phil Foden pulled even with Argentinian forward Julian Alvarez for second on the Citizens with eight goals after registering a hat trick in the team's 3-1 triumph over Brentford on Feb. 5. The 23-year-old Foden, who recorded a goal and an assist in Man City's 3-1 victory against Copenhagen in the first leg of their Champions League Round-of-16 tie on Tuesday, is tied for sixth in the EPL with a career-high seven assists. Alvarez has netted half of his tallies over his last six matches and shares 10th place in the league with six assists. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Chelsea

The Blues have some firepower of their own as midfielder Cole Palmer is tied for seventh in the Premier League with 10 goals. The 21-year-old, who saw limited action for Man City in their season opener against Burnley before signing a seven-year contract with Chelsea on Sept. 1, notched a pair of assists in the team's triumph over Crystal Palace. That effort gave him six assists on the season and a share of 10th place in the EPL.

Striker Nicolas Jackson ranks second on the Blues with seven goals despite going without one in his last five league matches, while winger Raheem Sterling has netted five tallies. Palmer, Jackson and Sterling all converted in the first meeting with the Citizens, as did Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, who is unlikely to play in the rematch after suffering a groin injury versus Crystal Palace. After failing to score in his first 22 games of the season, midfielder Conor Gallagher recorded a brace in Monday's win against the Eagles. See which team to pick here.
