Pep Guardiola has made four changes to his Manchester City starting lineup for this evening's Premier League clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Phil Foden, Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and captain Ilkay Gundogan all return to the first XI, with Jack Grealish, Manuel Akanji, Rico Lewis and Riyad Mahrez all dropping to the substitutes' bench.

Indeed, the Portuguese playmaker is set to begin on the right flank, with Foden operating on the opposite wing and goal machine Erling Braut Haaland leading the line.
