Chelsea's 5-0 win over Huddersfield last weekend was just the tonic to recover from a run of bad form in the Premier League that had people questioning both Maurizio Sarri's future,and their chances of finishing in the top four.
The Blues have risen to fourth in the table, thanks to Manchester City's win at home over Arsenal last weekend, but they now face the same trip to the Etihad Stadium as the competition reaches the business end.
Sarri will be going up against his friend Pep Guardiola on Sunday, but he can expect no favours, with the Premier League champions aiming to retain the title and see off their main challengers Liverpool.
