Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of a crunch Premier League clash between champions Manchester City and Chelsea. Will Pep Guardiola's men reclaim top spot on goal difference with a victory here? Or can fifth-placed Chelsea spring a surprise and force their way back into the Champions League places? Kick off 16.00 GMT.

REPORT: Tottenham 3-1 Leicester.

Mauricio Pochettino's third-placed Spurs stay in the title hunt. They are five points off top spot having played the same number of games as current leaders Liverpool.

Former Chelsea striker, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Sarri: "You need to give him the time, it's only six or seven months that he's been in the building, so you need to give him the time and you need to give him the trust."

Maurizio Sarri: "At the moment, in my opinion, Manchester City are the best team in Europe. They are an example for every club.

"We need to work. Guardiola is in the third season in the Premier League, Klopp in the fourth or fifth, but we need to work. I don't know another way. We need only to work and try to reduce the gap."

Guardiola: "At Chelsea, I understand what they want to do and they are doing it. Good organisation, offensive and defensive, they know what they want to do.

"It's a final for us. We have to play in that way. We have played one more game. But we cannot deny it. A few days ago we could be seven points behind."

Eden Hazard on his partnership with Gonzalo Higuain: "I've only played two games with Higuain and I know we can do something great together, not only with him but also with the other strikers, the other winger. Chelsea is not about Higuain and Hazard, it is about 25 players. But Higuain is a fantastic striker."

It's two changes for Chelsea with Antonio Rudiger replacing Andreas Christensen in defence and Pedro coming in for Willian.

City make three changes to the side that won at Everton in midweek. Oleksandr Zinchenko comes in for his fourth PL start of the campaign at left back, while Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling replace David Silva and Leroy Sane respectively.
