The clash between Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini's sides could potentially decide the league title
After a gruelling League Cup semi-final against Liverpool, Chelsea are likely to be without injured midfielder Cesc Fabregas and defender Filipe Luis, while league top scorer Diego Costa faces suspension after being charged by the FA for stamping on an opponent
Manchester City, who have not won in the league since Jan. 1, will have to discover
how to beat teams without midfielder Yaya Toure whose involvement in
the African Nations Cup has hit them hard and he will again be missing
on Saturday Jan 31,2015
Chelsea have won 11 and lost just one of the last 16 Premier League meetings against City and Mourinho has won seven and lost just two of his 11 meetings against Manuel Pellegrini.
No team has beaten City more often in the Premier League era than Chelsea, with 22 wins to their name.
