Manchester City will try to bounce back from their disappointment from the Champions League when they welcome Chelsea tonight.
The European hopes of the city are suspended by a thread after having wasted an advance of 2-0 at the Parc des Princes to lose 4-2 against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday evening. They must now beat Club Brugge to get a place in the playoffs.
Chelsea experienced a 3-1 victory at home against the Wolves on Monday evening.
