Summary:
Chelsea is in very good form winning seven of their last eight games. Manchester City has also only lost once in their previous eight games but have tied three times in that span. Across the board these teams are evenly matched and the statistics bear evidence to that. I fully expect this game to result in a draw. Both teams rank near the top of the league in fewest goals allowed so I would expect a low scoring affair. Manchester City has gotten the better of this match-up as of late going (3-1-1) in their last five head to head games with Chelsea. I like Manchester City to win by a goal at home.
