Manchester City welcome Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday looking to extend their lead atop the Premier League.
A win for City will extend the gap between the two sides to 13 points and though it won't mathematically rule out Chelsea of winning the league, it will make the task a herculean one.
The lunchtime kick-off will provide Pep Guardiola's side with the perfect opportunity to place their first finger on the Premier League trophy with a little under half the season remaining.
And having won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the start of the season, completing the double over a title-rival would be an excellent start to the new year.
Both teams head into the game winning comfortably in the FA Cup Third Round, City winning 4-1 on Friday against Swindon Town and the Blues dispatching Chesterfield 24 hours later 5-1.
