Chelsea host Manchester City on Sunday in a potentially significant game in this season's Premier League title race.

Arsenal's surprise home defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday has allowed City the chance to close the gap with a positive result today and increase the pressure on the leaders ahead of next week's top-of-the-table showdown.

Liam Rosenior's Blues will also consider this a huge game, though, given they are desperate for points in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League. They begin the day in sixth place in the standings, four points behind Liverpool in fifth.
