Reunited
The teams head out to a great noise and atmosphere inside the Etihad.
It’s Enzo Maresca’s first visit to the stadium as a head coach since leaving the club as Pep Guardiola’s assistant.
The pair share a warm embrace, a hug that goes on for a few seconds with big smiles from both.
In the tunnel
The two sides are ready to get going as they queue up in the tunnel.
A real determination on Reece James’ face. He’s in for a tough night but fingers crossed he comes through.
Man City vs Chelsea
Onto tonight’s teatime game which gets underway in just under 10 minutes.
And in case you missed the team news a while ago, new boys Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush are straight into the Man City team tonight.
While Enzo Maresca has named a front four for Chelsea – so we can expect a rather open game!
Man City XI: Ederson; Nunes, Khusanov, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic; Gundogan, Bernardo, Marmoush, Foden; Haaland.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
