PEP PREVIEW

“I’ve always said the Premier League is the most important title... we have four games left to get one victory and tomorrow we will try to get it.

“When we have the Premier League, after the focus will be the final of the Champions League and everything will be related to the final.

“I am a cautious guy. In sport you don’t talk about it until you have it. We still need points.

"I have a lot of respect for Thomas (Tuchel)... in every place he has been he has always done really well and the teams are always a joy to watch.

"I have not been working with him so I don’t know [what he does], but he has always done really well.

"I am not surprised and huge compliments for what they have done so far."

INJURY NEWS

City: Pep Guardiola did not reveal any fresh injury concerns in his pre-match press conference, meaning we go into Saturday's clash with a clean bill of health.

Chelsea: Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Mateo Kovacic remains sidelined with the injury he sustained last month in their Champions League quarter-final against Porto.

Beyond the Croatian, the German has a full squad to choose from.

FORM GUIDE

We go into the game on the back of Champions League triumph, after City booked a place in the Champions League final thanks to a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Domestically, last Saturday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace means Guardiola's side know victory over Chelsea would secure our third Premier League title in four years.

However, Saturday's clash will be anything but straight forward for City, as the visitors head into the game having lost just one of their last 15 Premier League games.

LAST MEETING

It was Chelsea who took the spoils the last time the two sides met, as Tuchel's side ran out 1-0 winners in the FA Cup semi-final last month.

However it was City who prevailed in the reverse league fixture, as a mesmorising first half saw us record a 3-1 victory, thanks to goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne.
