Chelsea v Man City Prediction, Preview & Odds – Premier League

We have a Chelsea v Man City prediction for you plus a breakdown of the odds and matchups ahead of Sunday evening’s Premier League match.

Chelsea, following their 1-4 victory over Tottenham, have risen to 10th in the Premier League table and if they can pull off another shock win could climb up to seventh as Mauricio Pochettino is beginning to steady the ship at Stamford Bridge.

Man City have won three of their last three league games and returned to the summit of the table one point ahead of Tottenham after the last round of league fixtures. It wouldn’t be shocking if they stayed on top for the next twenty-seven games of the season, such is their dominance.

So will Man City bag another three points this Sunday evening? Or can Chelsea pull off the upset at home?

Chelsea v Man City Preview

Chelsea’s Form

Chelsea eventually came out on top 1-4 in their Monday Night Football clash against Tottenham following the most dramatic game of the season. There were five goals, two red cards, one penalty and VAR controversy aplenty. The win means Mauricio Pochettino’s side climbed to 10th place in the table with 15 points from their opening 11 games.

That victory over Spurs was Chelsea’s tenth point earned in their last five league games following a record of three wins, one draw and one defeat. Their overall Expected Points this season have them in fourth place behind just Man City, Newcastle and Liverpool. This suggests to me that Chelsea are likely to climb the league even further in the coming weeks if they keep performing to their current level.

While victory here could bring them up to 7th in the table and back in the European fight they face their toughest test of the season in Man City in this one albeit with the home comfort of Stamford Bridge.

Man City’s Form

Man City, 11 games into the league season despite two defeats along with their nine victories have done enough to return to the summit of the table. They are one point clear of Tottenham in second place thanks to Sunday’s opponents doing them a favour by beating Spurs on Monday Night Football.

Last weekend The Cityzens enjoyed a 6-1 demolition job win over struggling Bournemouth. What is an even bigger testament to their strength-in-depth was that Haaland was hauled off in the 46th minute having not scored a goal.

Following their midweek Champions League victory 3-0 over Young Boys, Pep Guardiola’s side now have five wins in their last five outings.

Key Players To Watch

Enzo Fernandez – Chelsea

Chelsea have made plenty of questionable signings in recent seasons. However, the acquisition of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica looks to be a crucial component of any future success the club may have.

Fernandez is a hugely creative force in the middle of the park where he ranks in the 98th Percentile for Progressive Passes with 9.90 Per 90 and the 98th Percentile for Passes Attempted with 81.08 Per 90. Enzo’s 3.45 Shot Creating Actions Per 90 is another sign of his importance to this team and that ranks him in the 85th percentile for that stat.

If Chelsea can have any sort of control against Man City in midfield the Argentina will likely be crucial.

Jeremy Doku – Man City

If you thought Man City could not get more dangerous, you were wrong. Doku’s directness and pace is more in line with a traditional winger, something which is a rarity in the modern game.

The Belgian has two goals and five assists from his opening eight EPL games and is arguably the most exciting player in their potent front line.

Chelsea v Man City Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Man City

Chelsea have done well in the bigger games this season with a draw against Arsenal and their most recent victory against Tottenham. This is an entirely different task though.

Man City looks to be finding the form that made them so dominant last season and can make it six wins from six with a victory here.

Man City to win this one but don’t expect there to be buckets of goals.

Best Bet: Man City Win Under 4.5 Goals @ 11/10
