Chelsea vs Man City live streams are live, so there's no better time than now to make sure you know how to watch this massive fixture. Unfortunately, Man City is going to be short 4 of its squad, as Sergio Aguero needs surgery and joins Claudio Bravo, Eric Garcia and John Stones on the bench.

Chelsea coach Frank Lampard is expected to form his team in the 4-3-3 format, which worked well enough in the past against Manchester City. Hopefully late game mistakes don't doom Chelsea in this match as well. 

For Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori is expected to sit this one out, while Callum Hudson-Odoi's participation is is questionable. Jorginho's served his two-fixture suspension, and can be called upon by Lampard.
