Manchester City could well be forgiven for heading into their clash with Chelsea this weekend in a confident mood.

Just look at City, following their comprehensive victory over Manchester United they have moved from strength-to-strength and no doubt Chelsea will be hopeful of a similar bounce this weekend. Among those to naturally look out for is Raheem Sterling. Meanwhile, their new signing Nicolas Jackson gained a huge confidence boost at Spurs when he bagged a hat-trick. After having a difficult time adapting to life in the capital since moving from Villarreal, those goals will have given him no end of confidence.
