EPL Matchday 31 lineup: Sterling takes Aguero's role as Lampard makes two changes; Chelsea vs Man City
City are comfortably in the Champions League spots, 14 points clear of fifth place, but Chelsea can take a giant leap towards securing the top four with a win.
Manchester City will start without a striker, with Gabriel Jesus named on the bench. City are without record goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who has undergone knee surgery after suffering an injury in Monday's victory over Burnley, but start with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, and Riyad Mahrez in a front three.
Olivier Giroud starts again for Chelsea, as Frank Lampard makes two changes from the win over Aston Villa. Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes out, replaced by Christian Pulisic, while Ross Barkley is in for Mateo Kovacic.
