The pained expression on Vincent Kompany's face said it all - that little deflection was enough to wrong-foot Willy Caballero.

Just what Chelsea wanted but Manchester City have already shown plenty of threat.

Vincent Kompany has won legendary status among Manchester City's fans as an inspirational leader and the defender who has been their captain in two Premier League title campaigns.

Kompany has endured an horrendous run of injuries but the sight of his name on the team-sheet still carries significance and reassurance.

There will also be plenty outside Manchester City who will be hoping one of the game's most respected figures comes through unscathed from this Chelsea test tonight.

Chelsea's progress towards the Premier League title has been serene for most of the season - but this is a real test of nerve here at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Not only do they have to bounce back from a shock home loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday, they have to do it against Pep Guardiola's talented Manchester City, who have top four aspirations of their own.

Antonio Conte's side have passed almost every test presented to them this season - and there is still an air of calm around Stamford Bridge.

The return of Vincent Kompany is the big surprise for me but I had seen him a little bit in training over the past few weeks and I had an sneaky feeling this was the game he would be back for. 

City are at a point where they have a little cushion between them and Manchester United and maybe Guardiola is willing to take a risk. 

If we see the Kompany we have seen over the past five years, Chelsea are in trouble. If we get the Kompany we have seen over the last 12 months, Pep Guardiola is in trouble.
