Man City vs Chelsea Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Manchester City vs Chelsea predictions and betting tips for their Premier League fixture on Saturday 3^rd December at 12:30pm.

 

Chelsea travel to The Etihad on Saturday knowing that a win will keep them top of the Premier League and subsequently give them a four-point advantage over their opponents Manchester City. Antonio Conte’s side come into this match following a fine run of form, with their latest victory being against Tottenham Hotspur after coming from a goal down to win 2-1. Likewise, City also came from one down to win 2-1 last weekend against Burnley. Guardiola’s side have dropped off slightly following their incredible start to the season and have not won in their last three home games.

Man City vs Chelsea Predictions

City are unbeaten at home this campaign however have yet to face any of the current top six on home turf. Guardiola’s side also dropped points against Everton, Southampton and Middlesbrough at The Etihad and have an even tougher task this weekend when they host the in-form Chelsea. Conte’s side have remarkably won their last seven games in the Premier League against teams that include Tottenham, Manchester United, Everton and Leicester City. Chelsea also managed to keep six clean sheets prior to conceding against Spurs last weekend, and Conte will be hoping his shrewd tactics will work again this weekend when they face City. I feel Chelsea will definitely get something out of this game following the form they have been in, which is why my first Man City vs Chelsea betting tip for this match is Chelsea Draw no bet.

Under/Over 2.5 Tips

Man City and Chelsea are currently joint-second Premier League top scorers with 29 goals in just 13 games. This averages out at over two goals a game, and with the amount of goals the sides have been involved in so far this season, I can see this carrying on when the sides meet on Saturday. Away from home, Chelsea’s last three games have not seen over 2.5 goals, however in this fixture they face a side who boast a real attacking prowess and are always likely to score with the likes of Aguero, Sterling and De Bruyne in and around the box. Chelsea conceded against Tottenham at the weekend, which forced Conte’s side to attack more, and this resulted in more than two goals being scored, therefore I think if either side score early on, the game as a result could become very open and make room for chances. Guardiola’s side have been involved in 41 goals this season, which averages at over three goals a game for games that include The Citizens. They have their vulnerabilities in defence but often make up for their mistakes at the other end of the pitch, therefore, my second Man City vs Chelsea prediction is over 2.5 goals.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

Arguably the two best strikers in the Premier League face each other this weekend, however I feel with the uncertainty in City’s defence, Diego Costa is more likely to net on Saturday. There is great value in Costa to score at the weekend, as he is currently valued at 7/4. Costa is joint top-scorer with Aguero, who both have 10 goals, six of which have come away from home for the Chelsea man. Chelsea have only failed to score once in their 13 games this campaign, and I think they definitely have a good chance of netting this weekend, and if they do, it is likely to be through their main source, which is why my final Man City vs Chelsea betting tip for this match is Diego Costa to score anytime.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Team News

Raheem Sterling was substituted off in City’s last match against Burnley; however, the Englishman is expected to recover in time for Saturday. Vincent Kompany remains side-lined until January. Fabian Delph has been out with a groin injury recently, although his injury has nearly healed and he could return to the squad for Saturday’s clash. John Stones is expected to return following his absence from the squad that faced Burnley last week. Meanwhile for Chelsea, both John Terry and John Obi Mikel currently have muscular injuries and are doubtful for the trip to Manchester.

 

Head to Head Stats

The home side have won three of their last six against Chelsea and only lost once in the process. The last two fixtures between the sides saw Manchester City demolish Chelsea 3-0 both home and away. Chelsea will certainly have a point to prove following their recent defeats to City this weekend and will try to rectify that this weekend.

 

Betting Odds

The bookies price Manchester City as favourites for this clash and are currently valued at 23/20 with Betfair. If City’s recent record at home carries on into this fixture, then the draw is valued at 13/5 at WilliamHill. Chelsea, despite being top, are valued at a decent 13/5 with MarathonBet and is worth looking at following their seven game win streak. I mentioned this game could be very open at the weekend, which is why the goalscorer market looks appealing for this fixture. Sergio Aguero netted twice against Burnley last weekend, and the Argentinian is valued at 7/2 to score first.
