A few weeks ago Manchester City would have gone into this tie bounding with confidence. Yet the league meeting between these sides was an ordeal for Manchester City. They had averaged four goals in every home game before that point but Chelsea were so robust it makes this rematch a test of City's nerve. Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini also has significant injury issues, especially with a Champions League tie against Barcelona on Tuesday. Jose Mourinho's priority will also be Chelsea's next European assignment, against Galatasaray, but he would love to strike another psychological blow against the team, he insists, should win the league.

Come kick-off this could actually be a meeting of the teams in third and fifth place, though it still has the ring of a heavyweight occasion. Arsène Wenger, his side so refreshingly resurgent this term, must instigate an immediate recovery after last week's mauling at the Etihad Stadium as he seeks a first win over José Mourinho at the 10th attempt. Chelsea, for their part, are labouring for rhythm at present but will draw encouragement from October's Capital One Cup meeting between the teams, when they won convincingly at the Emirates.

This game would be intriguing enough without José Mourinho and André Villas-Boas coming up against each other for the first time since a once close relationship fractured. The north London derby aside, this campaign to date has been a real show of strength from Tottenham, a miserly defence and powerful midfield bullying opponents into submission. Chelsea will be braced for another stern test and, with Juan Mata back in contention, will still hope Ramires passes a late fitness test

Chelsea's Manager, José Mourinho's second coming has been a splutter to date, the period of adaptation rather too error-strewn for comfort. The visit of local rivals in Fulham, without a win at Stamford Bridge in 34 years and labouring this term, would normally constitute an opportunity for light relief, but it is hard to predict what Chelsea will muster these days. Four winless matches have raised the stakes already. Martin Jol's side will take encouragement from Basel's midweek success here as they seek to kick-start their own campaign, with their former Chelsea midfielder, Steve Sidwell, having opened talks over a new deal at the club.

One month of the season has gone yet with Everton immersed in late transfer sagas and Chelsea involved in the Uefa Super Cup, their campaigns are only just beginning. Samuel Eto'o, Willian, James McCarthy and Gareth Barry could make their debuts for their new teams, though Everton loan signing Romelu Lukaku is ineligible to face his parent club as Roberto Martínez seeks his first league win at Everton. Chelsea were the only team to win at Everton in the league last season and their quality on the counterattack could punish Martínez's side.
