Key Game: Chelsea vs Manchester City

Roberto Mancini and Manchester City will be hoping that Chelsea have an eye on their upcoming Champions League Last 16 second leg against Inter in just over 2 weeks time, as they hope to continue their strong pus for fourth place and a place in next year's Champions League.

In a game that threatens to be overshadowed by some off the field incidents involving former England Captain John Terry and the ex-girlfriend of Wayne Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti will be desperate for his side to take all 3 points in order to extend their lead at the top of the Barclays Premiership table to 4 points, as Manchester United take on Aston Villa at Wembley to determine the destination of this season's Carling Cup. Mancini is hoping that Bridge's head will only be on the game, having ruled out the possibility of playing in the same England team as Terry. " Wayne must only think about the game. He is a very good player and a good man. I hope he will play well"

Both sides will have some key players missing as the Czech number one, Petr Cech has been sidelined for a month following a calf injury at the San Siro on Wednesday, meaning Hilario is likely to deputise. Whilst Emmanual Adebayor has been given a 4 match ban as punishment for catching Ryan Shawcross with his arm at Stoke, when the sky blues went crashing out the FA cup in extra time at the Britannia. However City do have the returning Carlos Tevez to call upon after he returned from Argentina following the birth of his Daughter.
