Chelsea vs Manchester City: Sergio Aguero missing as Pep Guardiola’s men take a train down to London for clash in the capital
Striker unavailable to face champs at Stamford Bridge after breaking ribs during a car crash in Amsterdam
SERGIO AGUERO was the notable absentee as Manchester City took a train down to London for tomorrow’s crunch clash with Chelsea.
The striker could be out for a while after breaking his ribs during a car crash in Amsterdam on Thursday night.
Aguero was due to start against Chelsea but will now be forced to watch from the sidelines as Pep Guardiola looks for another solution.
And the tactician was spotted deep in talks with assistant Mikel Arteta as he prepared to make the journey to the capital.
Kevin De Bruyne seemed to be relaxed as he prepared to return to the home of his old club.
While Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan will surely be hoping for a starting spot at the home of the champions.
Guardiola has mixed his pack around numerous times this season, opting for both three-man and four-man defences.
And with Chelsea likely to continue with a 3-5-2 shape, City will have to make sure their tactics are spot on.

But any starting XI will not include Benjamin Mendy, who has suffered cruciate ligament damage.
The left-back could be out for the remainder of the season following his £53million move to the Etihad.
Vincent Kompany is also missing for City, meaning there may not even be enough bodies to go with more than four at the back.
⚽ Ian Wright's Premier League Tips ⚽
Former striker Ian Wright selects his top tips for Saturday's action.
"Romelu Lukaku has started exactly as you’d want a £75m signing to start.
"Not only has he scored a load of goals but he’s also silenced those questioning his link-up play and the first touch.
"He’s the only player in my mind when it comes to the first goalscorer market - and I fancy United to get loads againsrt Crystal Palace."
