Romeo Lavia is out of action for weeks and will miss Chelsea ’s away game against Manchester City on Saturday. The Belgian international, who endured a torrid first campaign with Chelsea last term due to injury, has a muscle problem. He picked up the issue against Bournemouth and missed Monday night’s 3-1 win over Wolves.

Just when Manchester City appeared to have resumed normal service, Pep Guardiola's side once again find themselves under the microscope as they prepare to host top-four rivals Chelsea in the Premier League's big weekend clash on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola always knew it was too early to say the real Manchester City was back after some recent wins against mediocre opposition.

Zuby Ejiofor scored six of his 16 points in overtime for No. 20 St. John's, which overcame a 16-point second-half deficit to beat Xavier 79-71 on Wednesday night in New York.
