Manchester City will be hoping to bounce back from their Champions League disappointment when they host Chelsea at home this evening.
City's European hopes are in limbo after a 2-0 defeat at the Parc des Princes in a 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night. They now have to beat Club Brugge to secure a place in the competition.
Chelsea beat Wolves 3-1 at home on Monday night.
