Chelsea vs Manchester City preview
Chelsea
The Blues were favorites against Nottingham Forest but they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw, although the outcome broke Chelsea’s three-game losing run on the road in all competitions.
Although Graham Potter’s men did well in the Champions League, where they will face Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16, things are quite different in the Premier League.
Chelsea are sitting 10th in the standings, with 25 points, 10 away from the top four teams, winning only one of their last seven league matches.
Manchester City
Meanwhile, the Citizens will be willing to emerge victorious at Stamford Bridge to get closer to Arsenal, who are in the top spot with 44 points, eight more than their opponents but Pep Guardiola’s pupils have one game in hand.
City go into the match having conceded in all of their four last Premier League games, only being able to keep a clean sheet in one of their last seven contests.
However, the visitors defeated Chelsea in the EFL Cup (2-0) before the World Cup break, and the Citizens came out on top in both encounters during the 2021-22 league, with 1-0 wins over Chelsea.
