Manchester City and Chelsea have developed a massive rivalry in the last few years, with these teams often meeting in extremely important games. Everyone remembers the UEFA Champions League finals from a few years ago. Chelsea isn’t at the same level as the Citizens right now, but that can’t diminish the hype ahead of this event.
Manchester City News
The Citizens have been on fire lately. They are without a victory for the 14 straight events, triumphing in 13 of them, most recently against FC Copenhagen on the road, 1-3. With Haaland and De Bruyne in the lineup, the team from the Etihad looks fantastic, even better than before.
Manchester City is unbeatable at home this year. When looking only at the Premier League games, City’s record is eight victories and three draws, with the team scoring 29 goals and allowing 10. We all know what it looks like when City pressures the rivals at the Etihad because, in most cases, the guests return home with a couple of goals in their net.
Chelsea News
Chelsea has back-to-back wins, and that’s new. After seeing the Blues oscillating for quite a while, this is a refreshment for them and their fans. First, they defeated Aston Villa in Birmingham, 1-3, and after that, beat Crystal Palace with the same result, also on the road.
The good and encouraging thing for Mauricio Pochettino’s boys, who simply can’t find any consistency and pace. From what we saw, this team has talent, but injuries and a lack of confidence are part of the problem as well. Just imagine if this unit had Nkunku all season long.
