Frank Lampard offers Chelsea stars Mauricio Pochettino advice via Jack Grealish praise

Chelsea head to the Etihad on Sunday ready to face a formidable foe. Manchester City are set to celebrate being named champions for the fifth time in the last six seasons, while they also have an opportunity to win the Champions League for the first time after handily dispatching Real Madrid during the week.

Erling Haaland has taken most of the plaudits this season having equalled Chelsea's overall goal tally of 36 in fewer matches, but the current Premier League champions have handled losing the likes of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus with ease.

Jack Grealish is one figure to have stepped up to the plate, after coming in for a great deal of criticism in his opening season at the club. Six goals and four assists is less than most will have expected from a £100million transfer fee, and he quickly became the target of opposition supporters' jokes.
