On Wednesday, Chelsea and Man City will lock horns in one of the most exciting games of the midweek Premier League action. The Blues lost their last game, falling to a 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace, and thus cannot suffer another setback.
The Citizens, in fourth, could climb the table and possibly swing the title race wide open with a win at Stamford Bridge. However, beating Antonio Conte’s team won’t be easy.
Two players who could be the difference between winning and losing are Diego Costa and Sergio Aguero. The two have enjoyed productive campaigns ahead of Wednesday’s battle. Here, we compare their numbers.
