Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Manchester City will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they make the trip to Chelsea on Thursday night.

The Citizens have only won one of their last three in the league, and their next three in England's top flight are against Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Chelsea, who drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest in the league on Sunday.
