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.

If Chelsea can regain their clinical touch in front of goal and overcome some key defensive injuries, they’ll be in the top four hunt until the very end of the season.

With their season crumbling to bits at every turn, Manchester City hope to prove they are still a top-four contender as they host Chelsea on Saturday in a massively important match in the race for Champions League places.
