Chelsea XI vs Man City: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, injury list for Premier League tonight

Chelsea have Jorginho back from suspension for tonight's visit of Manchester City, but Frank Lampard has opted to leave the midfielder on the bench.

With such a quick turnaround and players still building up their fitness, manager Frank Lampard will make changes to the side that started the 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

N'Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Ross Barkley make up a midfield three for Chelsea, while Christian Pulisic comes into the XI after coming off the bench to score at Villa Park.

Lampard has said Chelsea will need to press City from the front, though Olivier Giroud gets the nod over Tammy Abraham.

Cesar Azpilicueta keeps his place at right-back after having a hand in both goals against Villa. Fikayo Tomori is still out injured and Callum Hudson-Odoi is not match fit.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Mount, Barkley, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic

Subs: Caballero, Zouma, James, Jorginho, Gilmour, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Abraham

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Fernandinho, Mendy, Gundogan, Rodrigo, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling

Subs: Carson, Jesus, Zinchenko, Sane, Silva, Otamendi, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, Palmer
