Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Chelsea will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

On the back of six successive defeats, the Blues have recently responded by collecting four points from matches against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

However, Frank Lampard's side begin their extremely tough run-in with a trip to the North West to face City, who have an opportunity to seal the Premier League title over the weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the soon-to-be-crowned champions.
