  1. Important Facts
  • Man City have won their last 11matches (Premier League).
  • There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Man City's last 10 games (Premier League).
  • Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches (Premier League).
  • Man City have been winning at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 home matches (Premier League).
  • There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Chelsea's last 6 away games (Premier League).
  • Chelsea has scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches (Premier League).
  • Chelsea is undefeated in 9 of their last 10 away matches (Premier League).

 

  1. Final Takeaways 
  • The match between the two frontrunners this year comes to us on an action-packed weekend. This allows us to delve into the topmost quality of modern football
  • City is leading the league with a healthy distance of 10 points as they meet the team placed in 2nd
  • City will be without Mahrez as he is busy playing the AFCON championship. He has been one of the leading goalscorers of City, which might not be a big problem as cities are blessed with exceptional goal-scoring talents. 
  • Gundogan and Silva have popped up from midfield positions to bang in some goals which keep the tactics of Pep Guardiola even more difficult to combat.
  • It would be interesting to see if Tuchel plays Lukaku in this match after he had been part of the fallout between Tuchel and himself.
  • Chelsea has been trying hard to reach the beginning of the season form after the year turned into the new one. They have impressed in the Carabao cup and it will be interesting to see how they would cope and try to exert dominance against the league leaders
  • City has not been a fort defensively and has leaked goals in the fixtures leading up to the match against Chelsea, but still are in a better place at home to gain all 3 points.

  1. FINAL VERDICT (Prediction based on my inference)
  • Chelsea has been building up momentum leading up to this match and will be a serious threat to Man City's winning probabilities.
  • Lukaku and Pulisic are the two attacking threats from Chelsea
  • Grealish, Foden, and Sterling will be attacking threats from City
  • I am expecting a high-scoring encounter here tonight and will advise going with Scenario 2 and 4
