Football Prediction
After beating Tottenham earlier in the week, Chelsea comes up against league leaders Manchester City at the Bridge in another stern test for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues haven’t been convincing this season and needed two red cards to overcome Spurs and comes against a City side they haven’t beaten in their last six outings in all competition. On their side, Pep Guardiola will be fancy this game and will be looking to extend his side’s good form where they thumped AFC Bournemouth over the weekend before booking a last-16 place in the Champions League in midweek.
H2H / Stats
Chelsea wins: 71
Draws: 39
Man City wins: 65
Team News
Chelsea are still nursing one of the longest injury lists in the league but will hope to have Armando Broja to call upon this weekend. Levi Colwill was withdrawn at half-time against Tottenham in what was a tactical sub while Mykhailo Mudryk is fit again and ready to feature. Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka are all still out, while Christopher Nkunku is not expected to return just yet.
On Man City, they have been hit by another injury to John Stones, while fellow center-back Manuel Akanji was a late withdrawal from the team to face Young Boys BSC with a back issue. The pair are not expected to be fit for the weekend. Sergio Gomez and Kevin De Bruyne are still out.
Probable Line Up
Chelsea XI: Sánchez (GK), Silva, Disasi, James, Colwill, Gallagher, Palmer, Fernández, Caicedo, Sterling, Jackson
Man City XI: Ederson (GK), Walker, Aké, Lewis, Akanji, Kovačić, Silva, Rodri, Haaland, Doku, Álvarez
Verdict
Chelsea might have beaten Tottenham to dethrone them from the top spot but their performance when both teams had all players on the pitch was wanting. If they are going to topple City, \then they’ll have to be better which might be a huge call.
