Chelsea can take heart from their 2-1 victory over City in the reverse fixture in October courtesy of Fernando Torres last-gasp winner. Torres will miss this encounter with a knee problem, as will Citys goalscorer on that occasion, Sergio Aguero, who is sidelined after picking up a hamstring problem in the win at Spurs. Samir Nasri (knee) and Javi Garcia (knock) are both also unavailable to Pellegrini. With the exception of Torres and long- term absentee Marco van Ginkel (knee), Mourinho has a fully fit squad, and new signing Mohamed Salah could be in line for his debut, albeit probably from the bench. Manchester City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Wright, Boyata, Clichy, Demichelis, Kolarov, Kompany, Lescott, Nastasic, Richards, Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Milner, Navas, Rodwell, Silva, Toure, Dzeko, Jovetic, Negredo, Nimely. Chelsea (from): Blackman, Cech, Hilario, Schwarzer, Ake, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Cole, Ivanovic, Kalas, Luiz, Terry, Hazard, Lampard, Matic, Mikel, Oscar, Ramires, Salah, Willian, Ba, Eto’o, Schurrle. So give out your comments bfore the match.
