Therefore, although at least Chelsea also in the last few matches showed a recovery in performance but of course, it will still be difficult for Chelsea to get points on away match against Manchester City . Because of course, Manchester City will also maximize this moment to be able to return to the top of the Premier League standings by consistently winning in every match.

If Chelsea succeeds in at least holding Manchester City to a draw then it will raise their spirits because at least when facing a difficult match they managed to get a point even if only one, at the start of the season against Liverpool they managed to hold a draw as well as when facing Arsenal some time ago, but these two matches are home game for Chelsea so this time it will be different so if they manage to hold City to a draw then this will really be a surprise and a profitable result for Liverpool and also Arsenal.
But how big are the chances of Chelsea making a surprise? if we look at the odds on the betting market, the chances can be said to be small because Manchester City is far superior, City gets odds @ 1.33 and Chelsea @ 8.00 with a draw @ 5.50, so even a draw is very difficult for Chelsea, but nothing is impossible because we also see that the early minutes of the match or the first half are quite crucial times for City where they often have difficulty scoring goals and often fall behind, if Chelsea play well and aggressively and maintain their defense tightly something surprising may happen.

The win over Crystal Palace came at the right time for Pochettino to save his coaching position. This also helps Chelsea players stabilize their spirit after a series of 2 losses against Liverpool and Wolves. Man City will almost certainly miss Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, and Josko Guardiola in this match due to injury. But that's not enough. After all, Man City is still rated higher by experts. Man City is still not too worried as he still has Kevin de Bruyne in extremely high form since his return. Man City will not let Chelsea draw, and clearly, they are not allowed to be subjective. Because, Chelsea caused the defending champion to lose points in the first leg with 8 goals divided equally between both sides.
