Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction

The neutrals enter Saturday’s contest hoping to witness an equally enthralling encounter to the eight-goal extravaganza that unfolded between Man City and Chelsea in November, and goals are to be expected once again, considering not only the attacking threat of both teams but their vulnerabilities at the back.

Pressure is easing on manager Mauricio Pochettino after his team won a tricky FA Cup replay at Aston Villa 3-1 and then collected three points at Crystal Palace by the same scoreline on Monday.

Chelsea conceded four goals in two of their previous three league affairs. It is certainly not the kind of defensive form you want to carry into the clash against the league’s deadliest attacking line.
