What a difference a few weeks makes.
It wasn't too long ago that Chelsea was firing on all cylinders as Frank Lampard's revamped squad seemed to be making a real challenge for the Premier League title. However, the busy holiday period has not been kind to Lampard's men, as the Blues are mired in a five-game slump that has seen them lose three games, draw one and win just once since December 5.
Not surprisingly, the London club has fallen off the pace of the league leaders, but it's still early enough in the season that December's skid could end up just being a bump on an otherwise successful road.
For that to happen, Chelsea will need to start 2021 on a good note — however, the club's first match of the new year comes against another league power in Manchester City.
The Sky Blues have been among the hottest teams in England since late November, going undefeated in their last six games. City heads into Sunday's match tied with Chelsea on points (26), but the Manchester club holds two games in hand on its opponent.
Here's everything you need to know about Sunday's broadcast.
