Squad sheets: Chelsea v Manchester City
As Dynamo Kyiv eliminated Manchester City from the Europa League, there was a laborious tone to Roberto Mancini's side that was not explained entirely by the red card for Mario Balotelli. They have scored significantly fewer Premier League goals than any of the other clubs in the top four. Chelsea drew a blank at Stamford Bridge against Copenhagen, but had virtually won that Champions League tie in the first leg. Carlo Ancelotti's side has lost just one of its past dozen games and looks equipped to continue the recent rise.
