It is arguably the clash of the two in-form teams in the Premier League right now as Chelsea take on Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. However, City hold the edge in terms of recent meetings, having won six of their last seven encounters with Chelsea in all competitions. But the game is at Stamford Bridge, which is slowly turning into the fortress of old as Chelsea have won all but one of the their previous 12 games at home.
With both sides coming off morale boosting wins in the Champions League and both attacks looking as potent as ever, this match might just be the perfect advert for the Premier League. With Fernando Torres coming back to form in the Champions League and Sergio Aguero leading the goal scoring charts for City in the League, both sets of defences will certainly have their task cut out for them. With both sides currently occupying the top four, victory for either is sure to strengthen their hand and will likely prove crucial as the battle for the Premier League begins to heat up.
