A place in the top four of the Premier League is up for grabs when Manchester City and Chelsea clash in the early hours of Sunday morning at the Etihad Stadium.
Any chance of winning the Premier League title is effectively over for both teams, but qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is an absolute must.
Chelsea currently hold fourth spot, but City are one spot and two points below them and could jump over their rivals with a win.
It is a massive game for both clubs, one that neither can afford to lose, so we could be in for a tight, exciting contest at the Etihad Stadium.
The quality is there and expectations will be high for a quality game.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last five Premier League fixtures, but face one of their toughest tests yet.
Pep Guardiola’s side have seen off the likes of Ipswich Town, Leicester City and West Ham with ease, but Chelsea will be a different kettle of fish.
The Citizens fired home six goals in a 6-0 win at Ipswich last weekend, only to let a two-goal lead slip in a stunning 4-2 defeat at PSG in the UEFA Champions League.
Their home form has been good, but they have failed to perform in the big games at the Etihad Stadium this season and both Tottenham and Manchester United have left with all three points.
While City’s slide down the ladder has been a surprise, they still have a side packed with quality and the goals have flowed for Erling Haaland, who has 17 to his name.
But they have relied too much on him this season as Phil Foden is their next best with six goals for the Premier League campaign.
City did win 2-0 at Chelsea on the opening day of the season, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then.
Chelsea were being viewed as title contenders not that long ago, but one victory in the last six games has poured cold water on such talk.
Shock defeats against Fulham and Ipswich hit them hard, while three of the matches have been drawn - against Crystal Palace, Everton and Bournemouth.
Disappointing form from Enzo Maresca's side, but they now have the chance to put things right with a positive result in Manchester.
They head into the game on the back of a positive 3-1 home win over Wolves and will look to back it up against City.
Chelsea do not have a great record at City, however, you have to go back to the 2020/21 Premier League season to find a win.
The game also offers Cole Palmer the chance to return to the club that sold him.
Palmer is having another great season with 14 goals and six assists and will be out to put one over his former team.
Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson is also a player to watch with nine goals to his name this season.
