Manchester City went back to the top of the Premier League table after they beat Everton 1-0 away on Wednesday. Chances are Liverpool will reclaim top spot on Saturday when hosting Bournemouth, but City can get back to the top with victory over Chelsea. They have won 12 out of 13 home league games this season with a goal difference of +32 and 43 goals scored. 

Chelsea won well against Huddersfield at the weekend but that's to be expected considering the Yorkshire side are bottom of the table. Before that, Chelsea had lost 4-0 at Bournemouth and they can't play like that against Manchester City. The Londoners are facing a tough battle to get that fourth spot and qualify for the Champions League next season. Their lead over fifth place has been cut to two points and a loss here is likely to see them lose their position in the top four. The tip here is for a home win with City likely to exploit the defensive problems that Chelsea have shown in recent weeks.
