Manchester City Over 2.5 Team Goals

Reason for tip

Manchester City have won their last 16 home games in all competitions and that run started with a 4-0 demolition of Chelsea in January. They have scored three or more goals in 13 of those games, while the Blues have conceded 14 goals across their last seven in all competitions.

Manchester City 3-1

Reason for tip

Chelsea’s last visit to a top-four club ended in a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal and Manchester City have scored exactly three goals in three of their last six league games, although they have conceded in six of their last eight in the top flight.

Ilkay Gundogan To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Ilkay Gundogan has been a beneficiary of Pep Guardiola’s innovative new system and often finds himself the target of balls into the box, with the versatile midfielder scoring four times in his last four appearances and assisting two more.

Cityzens seal title success

Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday saw Manchester City secure their third-straight Premier League title. That renders Sunday’s clash with Chelsea academic, which should be a relief to the struggling Blues.

The Cityzens produced one of the finest Champions League displays in recent memory to coast past Real Madrid in midweek, extending their unbeaten streak to 23 games and making it an incredible 16 home wins on the spin – a run which started with a 4-0 demolition of Chelsea in the FA Cup in January.

They have scored at least three goals in 13 of these 16 games and can be backed to do so at the Etihad against a torrid-looking Chelsea outfit.

Lampard experiment fails again

The Blues may have sealed the deal on Mauricio Pochettino but, for now, Frank Lampard remains in charge and the club legend has hardly impressed the critics in his second spell at the helm of the club.

Chelsea have won just one of their last 11 in all competitions and have lost seven times in that period. Their 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest last weekend means they have conceded 14 goals in their last seven competitive games and their last trip to a top-four club – Arsenal earlier this month – saw them lose 3-1.

Gundo to get among the goals on Sunday

With this faltering system coming up against Europe’s best attack, backing Manchester City to bag a few goals appeals and I’m opting for a repeat of Chelsea’s trip to the Emirates with a 3-1 correct score prediction, considering City have conceded in six of their last eight league matches.

Ilkay Gundogan offers some value in the anytime goalscorer market. The versatile midfielder has benefitted from Guardiola’s new system, often finding himself the target for crosses into the box and scoring four times in his last four appearances.
