Chelsea vs. Manchester City Predictions

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Sunday, April 12, 5:30 pm CET

Right now, every match is a “must-win” for Pep Guardiola and his City if they hope to catch the Gunners and win the title. Chelsea, meanwhile, is positioned in 6th place and in the same situation as it hopes to secure one of the Champions League spots. The hosts are in terrible shape, while City has momentum following two great wins in recent days.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City Preview

Chelsea

The Blues are in problems on all fronts, and the most recent, besides poor results, is Enzo Fernandez’s situation. He is fined for comments about joining Real Madrid, and that’s going to affect morale and the atmosphere.

A 7-0 win over Port Vale in the FA Cup won’t diminish all the problems. Prior to this triumph, we saw the Blues lose 4 in a row, scoring just two goals during that run, and allowing 12.

Therefore, the defense is in trouble, and the offense is in the same position, which puts Liam Rosenior under tremendous pressure. Plus, Enzo won’t be eligible to play.

Manchester City

The season just might not be over for the Citizens, who beat Arsenal in the EFL Cup finals, 0-2 and eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup 4-0. These two wins are a message to Arsenal to prepare for one hell of a finish to the EPL title race.

This is what City needed, and we finally saw what everyone expected much earlier. Guardiola’s side had a stretch in which it won only 1 of 5 games, but after these two triumphs, that could be behind them.

We don’t need to explain how big this encounter is for City and its title hopes. They don’t have any UCL matches ahead, so Guardiola doesn’t have to mix up the lineup.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Head to Head

The first meeting of the year saw a tie, 1-1. Yet overall, City dominates against Chelsea, not losing since 2021 or 12 straight matches. Though, failing to win here would erase all that.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City Predictions

Chelsea is in big problems, and it seems that the decision to fire Maresca earlier this season was a big-time bust. Everything is against them ahead of this event: the form, the atmosphere, Enzo’s situation. Meanwhile, City is on the rise, and that’s undeniable. We don’t want to underestimate Chelsea, but in this game, our money is on Man City.

Our verdict: Manchester City to win
