Manchester City can move back into the top-four with a win over Chelsea on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's squad have discovered some form in the Premier League of late, having won three of their last four fixtures and it has put them on the brink of being back in the Champions League places.

With City fifth and two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the table, victory for City would put them above their opponents regardless of other results. It would be a second successive win for Guardiola's men after last weekend's 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich Town, although the 3-2 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday has put a dampener on the recent uplift.

Looking at Chelsea, Enzo Maresca's players secured a much-welcomed three points as they beat Wolves 3-1 on Monday. It was the Blues' first win in the Premier League in 2025, after failing to win their previous five matches, including back-to-back recent draws against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.
