View Manchester City v Chelsea head to head

Kick-off: 12.30pm Following a plane crash on Monday 28 November in Colombia that killed 71, a minute's silence was held before every football match this weekend. Football's world governing body FIFA also requested that all players wear black armbands in remembrance. Nineteen of the dead were members of the Chapecoense Football Club from Brazil on their way to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final in Medelin, Colombia. Willian's goal was the 200th that Chelsea had scored against Manchester City in league games.
