Manchester City V Chelsea: Match Preview, Predicted XI And Betting Odds

Manchester City know that three points will be enough to secure the Premier League title on Saturday but they will be coming up against a Chelsea team who are on a high after securing a place in the Champions League final.

Whether Thomas Tuchel’s side will be fully focused when they kick-off at the Etihad on Saturday evening, though, we shall have to wait and see. They are gunning for a top-four finish so you’d expect this to be a very competitive game.

In terms of team news, City have no injury concerns but they will be without John Stones who will serve the final game of his three-match ban after his sending off against Aston Villa.


Manchester City’s Predicted XI To Play Chelsea:

Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, Silva, Rodri, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden


Chelsea have just one fitness doubt, with midfielder Mateo Kovacic having taken longer than expected to recover from a hamstring injury.

Chelsea’s Predicted XI:

Mendy, James, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz, Pulisic

The bookmakers have City as the favourites with 888 Sport pricing them at 19/20 odds-on to win. A draw is 5/2 with Bet 365 while a victory for Chelsea is currently 10/3 at Betfair.

Predicted Score – 1-0 to City
