2014-15 Barclays Premier League Chelsea Vs Manchester City Saturday Jan 31,2015

 
Chelsea face Manchester City on Saturday in an extremely important top-of-the-table clash
Jose Mourinho (left) and Manuel Pellegrini are old foes and they will come face to face this weekend 
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.
