Man City predicted line up vs Chelsea as Kevin De Bruyne decision faces Pep Guardiola
20.05.2023 - 11:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola's team selection against Chelsea will be intriguing, after Manchester City's massive Champions League win over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
City are heading to the final in Istanbul after destroying Carlo Ancelotti's men 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium. And the Blues are now back on home soil to take on Frank Lampard's struggling side.
After six straight defeats in all competitions, Chelsea have collected four points from their last two outings ahead of facing a City team firing on all cylinders. Guardiola's men are within touching distance of being crowned Premier League champions for the fifth time under his stewardship.

And the deal could even be sealed before a ball is kicked on Sunday, should second placed Arsenal fall to defeat in their 5:30pm kick off at Nottingham Forest. City will be preparing as usual, no doubt, with some selection dilemmas facing Guardiola ahead of the game.
Defender Nathan Ake remains a doubt against his old side, while Aymeric Laporte is there and ready to be called upon should Guardiola need him. It has been noted that Kevin De Bruyne appeared shattered come the end of the Champions League clash. Time will tell whether the temptation to start the Belgian once again proves too great to ignore.
Bernardo Silva was the star of the show in midweek and - if De Bruyne is rested - could tuck into central midfield, with Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez both options out wide. There is also the option of bringing Julian Alvarez in to operate behind Erling Haaland - as seen against Leeds United and Everton.
Predicted City XI vs Chelsea: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Rodri, Mahrez, Bernardo, Gundogan, Foden,
