Manchester City vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups

The stage is set.

"It's always good to play against Manchester City. We know the game will be difficult, they won their first match, we drew ours, but now is the time to show everybody how good we are. We want to play well and win the match."

"When you are young you want to play in the biggest games and play in the Champions League. When you play against City you are up against a big team and big players, so you want to show the world that you have a lot of quality."

No surprise from either side, other than perhaps Aguero being fit enough to start for the hosts.

Ramires, as expected, takes Oscar's place, who's not even on the bench.  As always with Ramires, we won't know his exact position until the game starts, but the official Twitter word is that he's in the pivot with Matic, with Cesc pushing up to the No.10.

UP THE BLUES!
