Manchester City and Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Chelsea have produced a couple of decent away performances at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace but this is a much tougher test so while they may score, it is difficult to see anything other than a win for Manchester City.

Manchester City 3-1

Reason for tip

Having Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland back from injury is a massive boost for City in the second half of the season and they are full of goals, but they can still slip up at the back and Chelsea can score, so go for a 3-1 home win.

Phil Foden To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Phil Foden is in excellent form for City, scoring a hat-trick in the 3-1 win at Brentford and he was on target in Copenhagen in midweek, so don’t be surprised if the England star makes his mark against the Blues.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Predictions

  • Six of Chelsea’s last seven Premier League matches have featured at least three goals.
  • Manchester City have won their last 11 games.
  • City have won three of their last four outings by a 3-1 scoreline.

City perfectly poised for title push

While Liverpool re two points clear at the top of the Premier League, the signs are ominous with Manchester City having a game in hand and big guns Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne back in the fray, which is bad news for Chelsea, who visit the Etihad on Saturday.

The fixture come just at the time when it seems Chelsea are about to display a bit of fight to drag themselves away from another underwhelming mid-table finish following hefty Stamford Bridge investment.

Pressure is easing on manager Mauricio Pochettino after his team won a tricky FA Cup replay at Aston Villa 3-1 and then collected three points at Crystal Palace by the same scoreline on Monday.

But they needed two late goals to claim that Selhurst Park success and City are flying having won their last 11 matches and scoring at least twice in nine of their 11 home league games this season.

Last week’s 2-0 win over Everton came courtesy of two Haaland goals, but was only the second time in their last six Premier League Etihad tests that they have not conceded and they can be prone to taking their eye off the ball at times, so the Londoners are not without hope.

Chelsea should be positive

Pochettino’s side have lost five of their last seven league games on the road, which goes a long way towards explaining why they are struggling to qualify for Europe again this term.

But a 2-0 loss at Everton in mid-December has been the only occasion in their last ten on the road that they haven’t found the net and their recent successes should at least give them a degree of confidence.

However, it just seems City can flick the switch at the right time, so expect both teams to score with the champions coming out on top, and a 3-1 home win could appeal to those looking for a correct-score interest.

Foden the man to follow

Haaland’s return has created plenty of headlines, but while he score both goals against the Toffees there is still the impression that he is feeling his way back into action after six weeks out with a foot injury.

So anytime-goalscorer punters may wish to look elsewhere and Phil Foden appeals after some excellent recent performances.

The England star scored all three goals in City’s 3-1 victory at Brentford earlier this month and was also on target against Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday, thriving on the extra responsibility that has been placed on his shoulders.

This is another occasion when the Stockport Iniesta can make his presence felt.
