MCI vs CHE Dream11 : Guardiola and Co. would be desperate to get back on winning terms as currently they are nine points away from the table toppers.
An unwanted match ban would see Bernardo Silva make way for De Bruyne against Chelsea on Saturday. De Bruyne along with Mahrez, Aguero and Sterling look lethal against any lineup on any given day. Chelsea on the other hand, have rejuvenated after the international break. With Kante, Azpilicueta and Alonso back in the starting lineup high flying Chelsea would still hope to consolidate their current position in the table.
In my opinion no one would have predicted Chelsea to be above Man City at this stage; however, in the recent past, City has always been the better side as they have won 4 out of 5 games against the Pensioners. Chelsea this season unwittingly have secured third spot in the league.

MCI vs CHE Dream11 Goalkeeper
Since there is no clarity if Ederson would start for City today it’s safer to have Kepa in the team. Kepa this season already has had 3 clean sheets for Chelsea and looks pretty confident with a formidable defensive unit.
MCI vs CHE Dream11 Defenders
This game is more about Chelsea defenders vs City forwards, with a lethal forward line City would be testing the strong Chelsea defenders. A flurry of goals is expected in this tie, since I predict the scoreline to be in favour of Man City its sensible to go with one Chelsea and two City defenders. Azpilicueta has already assisted two goals for Chelsea on the other hand Stones and Fernandinho have led the defensive units for the hosts this season.
MCI vs CHE Dream11 Midfielders
In Spite of being in the starting line up De Bruyne has no been in a great form, due to which I have selected D Silva and Rodr and Mahrez whereas Mount with his brilliant performances is an automatic selection. The star studded forward line up is backed up by sheer elegance in the mid-field. D Silva Rodr and Mahrez have collectively scored 5 goals for City, whereas Mount has already netted the ball four times.
MCI vs CHE Dream11 Forwards
The forward line up is the centre of action for this tie. Sterling, Aguero and Abraham being obvious choices with their due to their performances this season; It would be a crime not having either of them in your dream 11.
Captain and Vice Captain
Since I am expecting a score line in favour of City and considering the current form Aguero would be my Vice Captain and Sterling would be the Captain of the team
