Romeo Lavia is out of action for weeks and will miss Chelsea ’s away game against Manchester City on Saturday. The Belgian international, who endured a torrid first campaign with Chelsea last term due to injury, has a muscle problem. He picked up the issue against Bournemouth and missed Monday night’s 3-1 win over Wolves.

The highlight fixture in the Premier League this weekend is Chelsea's visit to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City, in a battle between two teams looking to establish themselves amongst the top four in the standings.

Chelsea did try to mount a late response, of sorts, but much like our efforts after the first 10 minutes, it was ineffective, aimless, and uninspiring at best. Instead, Phil Foden sealed the deal for City with some route-one football in the final minutes.

Chelsea got off to an ideal start. They capitalised on an error from the debuting Abdukodir Khusanov in the third minute, with Nicolas Jackson setting up Noni Madueke to put the visitors ahead. However, they were pegged back in the 42nd minute courtesy of a goal from Josko Gvardiol.

Noni Madueke has revealed that he apologised to Chelsea teammate Trevoh Chalobah for poaching his goal in their match against Wolves on January 20.
