Manchester City kick off the New Year at Chelsea on Sunday, eager to move on from a recent Covid-19 outbreak and get back to putting pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool. “Safety remains our number one priority, and the club will continue to proceed with great caution,” City said in a statement. The points difference between City and Liverpool is seven but City have two games in hand. Everton host West Ham United on Friday and Arsenal play at West Brom on Saturday. Sheffield United, with two points from 16 Premier League games, travel to Crystal Palace, who are on a five-game winless run, on Saturday.
