Man City at Stamford Bridge Starting XI Created on 26th Oct (Updated 5:45pm - Friday, 26th October, 2007 MDT)

Petr Cech's 100th match will be played at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as Chelsea face Man City. Head to head in the past 10 home matches between the 2 clubs Chelsea has lost only once - Cech intends to keep it that way. John Terry, Ashley Cole, Michael Ballack and Wayne Bridge will all miss the match on Saturday, the latter due to suspension, the others due to injury. So who will play? The backline is an easy prediction, but the midfield poses a bit more of a challenge. SWP's absence of late leads one to believe that the same will be repeated on Saturday, at least from the Starting XI; Maka's role will be integral to success with the absence of Terry. Here is our prediction: Cech Belletti - Alex - Carvalho - Ferreira Makelele Cole - Essien - Lampard Drogba - Malouda Bench: Cudicini, Sidwell, SWP, Kalou, Shevchenko The key will be to continue with the persevering football that Chelsea have always played, beautiful or not, and grind out another win. Arsenal and Liverpool play against each other this weekend, which means there is a clear opportunity for the Blues to slip nicely into the top 4. Our Verdict: A comfortable win NEW!
