Man City v Chelsea Preview

Man City’s Form

Man City have already won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World this season but it looks like only the beginning as they remain favourites for the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League as we gear toward the business end of the season with very few sides looking like they can stop them.

They continued their winning run on Tuesday in the Champions League with a 1-3 victory against Copenhagen. Having taken a lead through De Bruyne in the 10th minute, Mattsson equalised in the 34th minute before Silva in the 46th minute and Foden in the 92nd minute secured the deserved victory with 79% of possession, 27 shots and an XG of 3.44 to their opponents 0.26.

City can go top of the table with a victory in this game provided results go their way, despite their Expected Points total of 49.47 putting them second behind Arsenal with 49.86.

Chelsea’s Form

Chelsea are a case of 3 steps forward and 2 steps back under Pochettino this season currently 10th in the league. However, following two league defeats on the spin 4-1 against Liverpool and 2-4 against Wolves, they recovered with 1-3 victories against Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Crystal Palace following a dramatic comeback on Monday in the Premier League. They also have an EFL Cup Final to look forward to in 10 days.

Things looked to be going from bad to worse on Monday when Crystal Palace took a 30th-minute lead on Monday, however, a Gallagher goal in the 47th minute before another in the 91st minute and a 94th-minute Fernandez goal earned them a crucial win in the course of their season. It was just about a deserved win with Palace having an XG of 0.72 to Chelsea’s 1.27.

Chelsea can climb to 7th place in the Premier League if they can pull off a victory here in what would be a huge momentum booster ahead of their EFL Cup Final against Liverpool.

Key Players To Watch

Phil Foden – Man City

The Manchester maestro is tremendously versatile playing across all four positions in the front four this season Making him a key cog in the Guardiola side. He continued his fine form with a goal and an assist against Copenhagen midweek to bring his tally to 15 goals and 10 assists from 36 games in all competitions.

Conor Gallagher – Chelsea

A product of the Chelsea Academy, Gallagher generally plays as a box to box midfielder but can play further up the pitch but even deeper depending on the tactical system. Gallagher’s style of play is reminiscent of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, but he remains underappreciated in some quarters and has been linked with a move away from the Bridge due to a contract dispute.

Gallagher saved Chelsea’s blushes on Monday with his brace ensuring the 1-3 victory that performance should hand him a start for this game.

Man City v Chelsea Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Man City 2-0 Chelsea

Man City look to be a non-stop freight train right now and it’s very difficult not to see them continuing that winning streak at the weekend even against Chelsea who have shown glimpses of resurgence in their last two games.

Chelsea have been consistently inconsistent this season, but such is the volatile nature of the Premier League a victory could see them rise up the table but a defeat could see them plummet further.

City should be too strong for this Chelsea side
