All I need today:

- avoid defeat
- avoid draw
- nothing more, nothing less

I hope they make it four 💙

None of the past 16 meetings in all competitions between Man City and #Chelsea have finished goalless. Chelsea's only clean sheet in the previous 16 top-flight matches at the Etihad Stadium came in a 1-0 win in February 2014.

Last night, Kendry Páez captained Ecuador vs. Bolivia as they begin their U20 CONMEBOL Championship tournament with a 2-1 win:

🔘 4 key passes (1st)
🔘 2 big chances created (1st)
🔘 3/4 successful dribbles (1st)
🔘 8/15 ground duels won
🔘 3 tackles
