All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge as Chelsea and Manchester City meet in a match that could officially decide the Premier League title race.
Liverpool's 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace means that if Man City fail to win in west London, then Jurgen Klopp's Reds will be crowned champions.
Pep Guardiola and his side are realistically playing for pride in the League now, but a win at the Bridge would set up a showdown between City and Liverpool on July 2 which could prove a valuable marker for next season at the very least.
Meanwhile, Frank Lampard's Chelsea cannot afford to lose with a re-energised Manchester United closing in the race for Champions League qualification.
Date, time and venue
Chelsea vs Man City is scheduled for a kick-off time of 8:15pm BST at Stamford Bridge, west London on Thursday, June 25.
Team news
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Mount, Barkley, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic
Subs: Caballero, Zouma, James, Jorginho, Gilmour, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Abraham
Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Fernandinho, Mendy, Gundogan, Rodrigo, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling
Subs: Carson, Jesus, Zinchenko, Sane, Silva, Otamendi, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, Palmer
Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Man City
Both sides have hit the ground running following the restart, but Guardiola will be desperate for his side to keep the title race going for at least another week.
Guardiola will not let his players forget that anything less than a win will hand Liverpool the title, and Chelsea's home record against big clubs is not exactly stellar this season.
