Manchester City and Chelsea collide in FA Cup action at the weekend. Mourinho's mind games have continued into the run up to this fixture with even City legend Mike Summerbee now getting involved. Chelsea recently put an end to City's undefeated home record ,a defeat Pellegrini's men will be dying to put right. As well as holding home advantage, City head into the encounter fresher after their Premier League clash with Sunderland was postponed on Wednesday due to adverse weather conditions, while Chelsea struggled away to West Brom.

Team News

Sergio Aguero is still sidelined with a hamstring injury, as well as Fernandinho (groin) and centre-back Matija Nastasic (knee). Midfielders Samir Nasri and Javi Garcia have returned to training after they both recovered from knee injuries but there are still some doubt on their involvement. Chelsea are set to gamble on the fitness of John Terry. While Gary Cahill is an injury doubt after limping off in the 1-1 draw at West Brom. Branislav Ivanovic and David Luiz are expected to play if Terry and Cahill are missing. David Silva could be a key man for City with four goals and seven assisists so far this season. It will be up to Silva to provide the service for Negredo ad Dzeko and with his impressive 89% passing accuracy that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
