Team News
This could be the game that decides the title. Manchester City are currently chasing Arsenal, and by mid-April, they cannot afford to drop points. Chelsea, under Liam Rosenior, have become "giant killers" at home this season. City may be forced to rotate if their Champions League quarter-final second leg (just 3 days later) is still up in the air.

Outlook
Expect Pep Guardiola to utilize a "false nine" system to control the midfield, while Chelsea will rely on their wingers to exploit the space behind City’s high defensive line.

Prediction
Chelsea 1–2 Manchester City
