It's indeed going to be a tough match at the Etihad and I'm doubtful Chelsea has what it takes to defeat Man City. Although the last time these two met, they ended it in a 4-4 draw and I'd be hard pressed to think they can repeat such a feat, especially now that Man City are having the presence of Kevin de bruyne in their midst and Chelsea never had Christopher Nkunku and it looks like the both sides are having their best men so let's see how it will unfold. I read on the news where Enzo Fernandez was saying before this season will end, they will finish in the top spot and I'm feeling that it's too early to say such big things. They said if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best and this Saturday will tell if they can do anything.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that City will win this game. I can see that some people go with the route that is "it's football you never know" but I am not going to bet on this game with the off-chance that suddenly Chelsea starts to play well. That is a rare situation and I think it will not happen, so we should try to avoid it as much as possible.
Manchester City on the other hand plays as well as it gets and that is why we should be considering that as the most important part. I believe that the best thing right now for this game would be just letting them play as well as hoped for and City dominating the game. I already wagered handicap on City, 1.5+ over win, meaning if Chelsea loses 1-0 or 2-1 (with one margin) I still lose, that's how much I trust City.
