ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Manchester City are aiming to continue their 11-match winning streak in all competitions when they entertain Chelsea on Saturday.
This fine form has fired Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions firmly in the midst of a three-way battle at the top of the Premier League table with leaders Liverpool and Arsenal.
It marks a recovery from a faltering run of one win in six Premier League games that was sparked by an incredible 4-4 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last November.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have largely failed to kick on from that performance but they head into this match buoyed by impressive wins on the road at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively.
