Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and his counterpart at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, need maximum points from tonight’sWhile Guardiola needs a win to delay Liverpool’s impending emergence as champions of the League, Lampard is in dire need of maximum points to keep his team firmly in the race for a top-four finish.
Both City and Chelsea have secured maximum points in their earlier two games after the enforced coronavirus pandemic break, but either or both could drop points in tonight’s tie in London. The Blues have alternated between defeat and victory in their last four Premier League home games against Man City, winning this same fixture 2-0 last season. But it is not certain which way Thursday’s tie would swing.Manager Frank Lampard is likely to rotate his starting line-up from Sunday’s 2-1 win at Aston Villa to cope with fixture congestion.
Guardiola would likely do the same as he is already without record goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who has undergone knee surgery after suffering an injury in Monday’s victory over Burnley.
