Chelsea vs. Manchester City, Premier League: Live blog; highlights

Welcome to the last game before the last international break of the calendar year.

Can we beat City? Can we at least score a goal? We’ve failed to do either in the last six (6!) meetings against them.

Pochettino makes one change from Monday, with Marc Cucurella coming in for Levi Colwill, who’s not even on the bench. (Hopefully not an injury! UPDATE: minor shoulder problem, apparently.)

Here we go!

Chelsea starting lineup (4-3-3):
Sánchez | Cucurella, Silva, Disasi, James (c) | Enzo, Gallagher, Caicedo | Palmer, Jackson, Sterling
