Enzo Fernandez will be missing from the squad following a club-imposed ban relating to comments made about his future at the club.
- Manchester City team news: Pep Guardiola's side continues to be spearheaded by the formidable Erling Haaland, who has kept up his impressive goalscoring run throughout the 2025/26 season.

- Head-to-head record: Recent history strongly favours the away side, with City having gone unbeaten against Chelsea in all competitions since the 2021 Champions League final. The earlier meeting between the two sides this season ended in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
