Tip Manchester City - Chelsea

Prediction published on 13/01/2022  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 13/01/2022 at 03:34

The Premier League continues this weekend with the topmost game pitting Manchester City at home to Chelsea. Both teams are on fine runs in recent matches and in the league standings, 10 points separate them. Manchester City are top with 53 points and Chelsea are second on 43. This is a repeat of the UEFA Champions League final last season and City will be eyeing a double over Chelsea after a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge back in September. City have seven straight wins going to this game and have scored in each of their last 10 matches. In three of City's last five matches, both teams have scored. They get to this game straight from a 4-1 away win over Swindon Town in the FA Cup and in their last league game, they beat Arsenal 2-1 on New Year’s Day.

Chelsea have beaten Manchester City three times in the last four meetings and going into this game, they’ll want to extend this dominance. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup semi final return leg, that being their third straight win. This will however be tougher than their last three matches. The Blues have been a bit shaky but one area that they’ve dominated in their matches is the attack. They have failed to score in just one of their last 24 matches though they haven’t been so clinical in defence. In their last five matches, both teams have scored in three, and they have four clean sheets only in the last 10 games.
