Chelsea take on Manchester City in a Premier League clash on Thursday. Here is all you need to know on how you can follow the match, the referee details and team news.

Both sides come into the game at Stamford Bridge requiring a win, with City hoping to succeed in their game in hand to close the gap to league leaders Arsenal to five points.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will hope to bounce back following their disappointing 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest on New Year's Day. Blues boss Graham Potter claimed their first half performance was 'not good enough' after Raheem Sterling scored their opening goal, and Forest duly fought back in the second 45 minutes to claim a point.

City, meanwhile, also recorded a 1-1 draw in their last match against Everton. Erling Haaland put them in front in the first half, before a superb second half goal from Demarai Gray clinched a vital point for Frank Lampard's side.

Here is all the key information ahead of Chelsea vs Manchester City.

However, the Cityzens are set to welcome back Julian Alvarez, who could play his first game since winning the World Cup with Argentina on December 18.
