In what could be a deciding game in the top four battle, Manchester City will visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Sunday March 20th.
Although the Premier League title may not yet be completely out of grasp for any members of the top five, fans will be desperate for their teams secure a Champions League place first and foremost. Currently, just three points seperate third place Manchester City from fifth place Tottenham.
Chelsea have seemingly overcome the huge blip which saw their league position tumble. An expensive January transfer window has led to better performances from Carlo Ancelotti's side, although they still have not hit top gear yet, as shown by the loss against Liverpool and draw against Fulham. Chelsea are desperate for inspiration from £50 million man Fernando Torres . Despite this, they still overcame Manchester United on Tuesday, coming from a goal down and demonstrating their desire to reclaim their crown.
Manchester City are not exactly in top form either, winning only one of their last five league games. Their talented squad appears to be gelling well, however, and they have plenty of strength and depth to call upon as the end of season games pile up. They have played one game more than both Chelsea and Spurs, so a win against Chelsea will be vital in maintaining third place.
