Massive blow for Chelsea as Maurizio Sarri confirm double injury blow ahead of Man City clash

Manchester City set to host Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with both team playing there second leg of the EPL.

Chelsea will continue to play what Maurizio Sarri considers their strongest team as he strives for consistency after his side failed to reach their best form over the winter period.

City’s first defeat of the campaign came at the hands of Maurizio Sarri’s side, and they know that another this weekend would undo a lot of the hard work they have put in to wipe out what was once a seven-point deficit at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola was able to leave out the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling in midweek and the rest came through unscathed, leaving no new injury concerns.

Meanwhile, Chelsea duo Callum Hudson-Odoi and Gary Cahill are doubtful for the trip to the Etihad Stadium, according to a report on West London Sport.

Hudson-Odoi has been nursing a fever throughout the week and is struggling to shake off the flu, whilst Cahill has got a minor back problem.

Sarri confirmed that besides these two players, he expects everyone to be available for selection for the match.
