Manchester City travel to the capital today as they take on Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Manchester City return to Premier League action this afternoon when they face Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

City have enjoyed another good week as they progressed comfortably to the Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday night. An Erling Haaland brace and a superb Phil Foden solo goal continued their 100 per cent record in Europe and progression from Group G. Next up for the Blues is a tricky trip to London where a buoyant Chelsea will be looking for another big scalp after comfortably beating Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. Here is how our MEN Sport readers think the Blues should line up today.Goalkeeper - Ederson

No surprises in goal as Pep Guardiola clearly has a favourite in between the sticks. Stefan Ortega has been given opportunities in the Premier League but City are unlikely to deviate from Ederson.John Stones' injury blow will give Guardiola a selection headache. In his absence, the fans have chosen to recall Ake to the back line with Gvardiol remaining on the left-hand side.

Despite visiting a side in form, City fans have opted to take the game to their hosts with an attacking midfield line-up. Alvarez has continued his impressive progression at the Etihad Stadium this year and will feel he deserves a recall.The main battle up front is between Jack Grealish and Doku. Grealish and Riyad Mahrez made a tremendous impact last time City visited the Bridge but Doku is preferred today after his sensational performance against AFC Bournemouth.
