Man City vs Chelsea preview

Manchester City are back in action for their third match in eight days as unpredictable Chelsea arrive at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Citizens look to have embarked on their unstoppable march to capture a sixth Premier League title in seven years.

Pep Guardiola’s side head into this weekend in second position – two points behind leaders Liverpool having played a match less.

City have won 11 on the spin, scoring 32 goals and registering six clean sheets during that phenomenal spell. They also enjoy playing Chelsea having won six of their last eight home league meetings, five of those to nil.

The hosts have won 18 and drawn four of their last 22 home league games with only Liverpool bettering that record.

Chelsea arrive after consecutive victories on the road as their Jekyll & Hyde season continues.

Mauricio Pochettino’s role looked to be in the balance after back-to-back heavy losses against Wolves and Liverpool, but turned things around by scoring 3+ goal against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.

The visitors sit tenth in the division and a full 13 points adrift of the Champions League places, although they will take heart from the amazing 4-4 earlier this season at Stamford Bridge.

Man City vs Chelsea betting tips

Crown Jules

Julian Alvarez is enjoying a profitable campaign having netted 15 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 appearances in all competitions.

He also enjoys playing Chelsea. The Argentine, 24, has played against the Blues on four occasions in his career and he’s netted three times. Burnley are the only British side he’s registered more goals against during his spell in the Premier League.

He’s fired off 15 attempts on goal in the last four league games, meaning he’s had a shot once every 22.5 minutes. He was also rested for the Champions League win and should start this weekend.

Phil the power

Who could bet against Phil Foden in the form he’s in?

The England international has scored eight goals in his last ten appearances, and provided a colossal 15 assists for his colleagues.

The 23-year-old grabbed another goal and assist during the midweek win over FC Copenhagen, and created a further eight chances in his last 344 minutes of league action.

Not so mellow Gusto

Malo Gusto looks a good bet to be carded this weekend. The full-back, 20, has racked up five bookings this season already from 14 fouls committed in 17 appearances.

He’ll have one of Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku or Jack Grealish to deal with on Saturday, with the trio by far and away City’s most fouled players. They’ve been fouled a combined 86 times in the league this term.
