Chelsea Preview & Team News

Chelsea heads into this fixture after a 1-1 Premier League drawn result vs Nottingham Forest. The Blues stayed in 8^th place in the English top flight, being seven points behind Manchester United, who is 4^th. Under three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past six meetings where Chelsea has been a participant. In terms of goal attribution from that period, their opponents scored a total of 6, and Chelsea managed a tally of 5.

In their last fixture, Manchester City drew 1-1 in the Premier League tie with Everton. It was their second hiccup in the previous three rounds, which saw them stay seven points behind Arsenal, who still leads the title race. Over the course of their last half-dozen clashes, Manchester City has amassed the sum of 12 goals. Manchester City has also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, they’ve seen seven goals go into their net. The defending champions need to become more consistent if they want to grab another crown. Due to a completely injury-free group ready to go, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola does not have any fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this clash.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Although neither team has been consistent recently, Chelsea has had much more problems. It is going to be an entertaining match, and we believe the visitors will pick up all three points in this encounter.

Goals Market Prediction

Five of their previous six h2h clashes stayed under a 2.5 margin, and the Blues have had severe trouble finding the opponent’s net lately. Since Manchester City has also been involved in low-scoring games recently, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.
