Saturday's big fixture in the English Premier League is the one between Man City and Chelsea, which takes place at Etihad Stadium. It's no secret that the Citizens have felt the pinch this season, struggling big time to match the lofty standards that they've set over the last few years. This is why they're down in a rather unfamiliar 5th position, one place behind Saturday's visitors, who find themselves two points in front of City. The Blues have certainly improved on last season's output, so much so that they look destined for a top-four finish, though they too have wobbled slightly of late, meaning that this game is an important test for Enzo Maresca's men.

Our Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction

As Chelsea's top scorer, Cole Palmer has obviously received lots of praise for his general performances in front of goal, and rightly so, but we shouldn't overlook just how creative the Englishman is. Not only is Palmer Chelsea's main goal scorer, but he's also arguably their main creator too. No Chelsea player has more assists than Palmer this season, and let's face it, his creative stats are very impressive, so impressive in fact that odds of +440 just look too big. Such odds offer value for those who seek it. Our Best Bet: Cole Palmer to give and assist.

Prediction:

 

Cole Palmer to give an assist
