Full Chelsea squad available to face Man City as nine unavailable amid transfer exit
Chelsea return to Premier League action this evening when they take on Manchester City.
The Blues will travel to the Etihad Stadium to face the reigning Premier League champions. Chelsea go into the game on the back of a 3-1 win over Wolves in the last Monday Night Football instalment.
Enzo Maresca's side will be determined to secure all three points against City as they aim to climb the league table. Chelsea are currently in fourth place in the latest standings and two points ahead of the Etihad club, who are fifth.

Maresca will be forced to be without several members of his Chelsea squad when they make the trip to Manchester. One player not available is Joao Felix, who will not be part of the matchday squad for the Blues after being granted compassionate leave.
Romeo Lavia also remains unavailable as he recovers from a muscle injury, while Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana are also unavailable due to injury. Renato Veiga has not featured in any of the last seven Premier League matches, with the majority as an unused substitute, as he closes in on a loan move to Juventus.
Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernandez have recently been on the sidelines with injury, too. Maresca confirmed, though, that he hopes the duo will return to the matchday squad to face City.
