Manchester City vs Chelsea preview

Manchester City

After thumping Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final in midweek, Manchester City are now poised to secure the first of a potential domestic and European treble. If Arsenal lose to Forest on Saturday, City will be crowned champions without kicking a ball; if the Gunners keep the title race alive at the City Ground, the Mancunians can make certain of their ninth English league crown with victory over Chelsea.

City face crosstown rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on 3 June, before taking on Inter in the Champions League trophy decider a week later. If they manage to win the league, the cup and the European Cup, they will become only the second English club - after United in 1998/99 - ever to achieve the feat.

Chelsea

While there is a lot at stake for City in the season run-in, Chelsea travel to the Etihad Stadium with nothing to play for; after a dreadful first season under new owner Todd Boehly, the Blues are down in 11th in the Premier League. Their paltry haul of 43 points is only fractionally over half City’s total of 85.

In their six Premier League games under interim head coach Frank Lampard, who replaced Graham Potter in early April, Chelsea have lost four and won just one.

Manchester City vs Chelsea: prediction

Much has changed since the sides met in the 2020-21 Champions League final; Chelsea are nowhere near the level they showed that campaign, when they lifted their second European title at Manchester City’s expense. City, on the other hand, have improved their group of players, and it’s difficult to imagine any other outcome than a home win.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea
