Chelsea host Manchester City in the Premier League today, hoping to build on their memorable derby thumping of Tottenham.
The Blues ran out 4-1 winners to end rivals Spurs' unbeaten run in a truly chaotic all-London clash on Monday night, but arguably still flattered to deceive for large periods against nine men before Nicolas Jackson's hat-trick finally settled the game in injury time.

Chelsea vs Man City prediction
While Tottenham nearly punished Chelsea with nine men, and an absurdly high defensive line, few will bet against Manchester City picking the Blues off in London.
Pochettino will take measures to address the threat of the Premier League champions, of course, but I can't see past a comfortable City win here.
Man City to win, 3-0.
