  1. Final Takeaways
  • The rematch of last year’s Champions League Final is as exciting as it gets
  • In that match, Tuchel had the upper hand over Guardiola, who again, fell into his traps of overthinking important matches
  • Since then, Chelsea has gotten even stronger and turned into a more balanced team with Lukaku leading the attack while City have added to their squad but not in a way they would have loved
  • Chelsea is unbeaten in all seven of their matches this season. They head into Saturday's game three points clear of Manchester City
  • Tuchel has won all three matches against Pep Guardiola as Chelsea manager
  • The city suffered a setback in the league last weekend with a goalless draw against Southampton.
  • The city’s start to the campaign has been hot and cold. They have scored plenty or not at all. It will be interesting to see how these two sides take the pressure of this match
  • Lukaku, a proper Number 9 of the game might be the difference between the two teams both on the pitch and ideologically.
  • It will be a tight matchup between two ideologies between two teams who are considered favorites to win the title this year
  1. MATCH ANALYSIS
  1. Predicted Lineups   

Manchester City

If Guardiola decides to go with the false 9 system, Grealish/Sterling might have better opportunities to score

K De Bruyne and Silva/Gundogan will be important for city to win the midfield battle. Cancelo is important for his key passes

City’s upcoming fixtures are tough and come at a breakneck pace. It will be interesting to see the squad Guardiola puts forward

Chelsea

  

Lukaku has been the standout performer and is filling the only gap this team experienced last season.

Against Stronger defenses, Lukaku drops deeper to receive the ball, much like Kane and affects the play by linking attackers. Ziyech, Havertz, can benefit from this

Marco Alonso has been a revelation under Thomas Tuchel and his positioning makes him a prime Assist provider.

  1. FINAL VERDICT (Prediction based on my inference)
  • Guardiola and Tuchel are coaches who are believers of high-intensity attacking and possession-based gameplay. This match-up will be a greater test for Guardiola who has been on the losing side the last 3 times these coaches went head-to-head
  • A heavyweight match like this is very hard to call, but given the current performances, Chelsea seems likely (very slightly) to get the points from this match
  • The recommendation would be to stick with Scenario 2 and Scenario 4
  • Werner can benefit from the movement of Lukaku.
  • Jesus might play as a number 9 today
