Chelsea face Manchester City this weekend but will miss 6 key players as Liam Rosenior rotates his side.

The Blues were beaten 3-0 at Everton in their last Premier League clash, meaning they have won just one of their previous six Premier League fixtures, losing three of their past four.

Rosenior is under immense pressure at the moment as he aims to lead the club to a Champions League spot, something that is constantly eluding the side. 

Chelsea welcome City to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon after going three consecutive Premier League games without scoring in what is a real worry for the side. 

Rosenior’s side have just the Premier League to play for after being knocked out of every other competition, meaning his side have had over 2 weeks to rest and recover over the international break. 

However, he will still be without the likes of Levi Colwill (Knee Injury), Trevoh Chalobah (Ankle/Foot Injury), Benoit Badiashile Mukinayi Baya (Illness), Filip Jorgensen (Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury), Reece James (thigh) in defence. 

Lastly, Enzo Fernandez has been made unavailable by the club due to comments made on international break where he suggested he would be open to a move to European rivals Real Madrid. 

Chelsea have kept a solitary clean sheet across their previous 15 Premier League encounters and as they come against Erling Haaland who grabbed a hat trick against Liverpool last week they may struggle once more.
