The official webiste of Man City states that (along with Bridgey) Essien didn't travel with the rest of our squad for tonight's game. I think it is a major setback because we need his power in midfield in such a difficult game.
Chelsea could play thier kids tonight and still beat Man City, hell they only have to turn up and the 3 points will be in the bag. City are soo poor under stuart pearce
