Chelsea team confirmed at Man City: Cesar Azpilicueta returns with Mason Mount dropped

Chelsea take on Manchester City this afternoon at the Etihad Stadium looking to make it seven Premier League wins on the bounce.

The Blues have hit a superb run of form in the league, something that has seen them leapfrog the current champions into third place.

Of course, Chelsea fans will remember what happened here last season when the Blues were hammered 6-0, being 4-0 down after just 25 minutes.

They will be hoping that something similar does not happen again under the rejuvenated and youthful side that Frank Lampard is building.

One boost is that Jorginho is back in the starting XI after being suspended against Crystal Palace.

He goes back into the midfield and looking to continue the superb form that he has shown this season.

Meanwhile, Cesar Azpilicueta returns to the team at right-back, with Reece James dropping out of the team.

Mason Mount also comes out of the team, with Christian Pulisic keeping his place in the starting XI as the left winger.

Here is the Chelsea team:

Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

Subs: Caballero, James, Christensen, Mount, Pedro, Batshuayi, Giroud.
