Although in this season Chelsea is still in a bad trend but yes, the fact is that the first meeting of Chelsea against Manchester City this season in fact the result is a draw with a big score of 4-4. So yes, because at this moment that Manchester City is also still in a very good trend, especially after getting back Bruyne recovered from his long injury. Obviously, the return of Bruyne is one of the factors in the recovery of performance and excellent results for Manchester City at this moment.

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.

no matter how hard Chelsea performance is but now the condition is different not like the past and the condition of the two teams turned around.
I mean the situation when the draws of the two teams when De Bruyne was still injured and could only rely on Haaland to become a good execution player while Chelsea still had some reliable players and some defense players were quite good while currently Chelsea several defense players what can be relied upon is injured and Man City has regained its flagship players like Haaland who have recovered and KDB who are currently recovering and are ready to destroy the Chelsea goal.

and on the one hand, Man City upcoming match will compete in their own demonstration does not give any doubts for players to score large amounts of score and I predict that at least Man City will score 3 scores in the match and Chelsea scored at least 1 score.

It is difficult to deny that Chelsea performance in the last two seasons has been very unstable. Visiting the Etihad next week will be the toughest challenge for Pochettino squad, because Man City chances of securing full points are very high. Pep Guardiola has a complete squad because no players are injured, while Pochettino is still missing several key players due to injury. Pep has the freedom to rotate and experiment in determining his starting XI, and so far Pochettino experiments have mostly failed.

The tension of the game will clearly be very high, because the background of both teams needing an additional 3 points is clearly visible. Man City wants to top the standings, and Chelsea wants to get closer to the European zone in the remaining matches this season. This image will certainly make the atmosphere at the Etihad full of pressure, and Chelsea will need great luck to beat Man City.

On the other hand, the best that Chelsea can achieve this season is the Europa League zone, while Man City is under heavy pressure from its two competitors, namely Liverpool and Arsenal, in defending the EPL trophy. So far the standings have not been formed with a wide difference in points, where I estimate that the three teams challenging for the title have a great chance of swapping positions in leading the top of the points table in the future.
