I doubt if Chelsea are going to win Manchester City because they are not in that form to do that obviously. In fact, any team that can be able to win Manchester City currently in a Premier League competition, seriously, I will call that luck because at the moment there is no team that is doing better than Manchester City in this competition. Manchester City has become stronger since the return of their key players, and Chelsea is just getting their performance back, so for me, I still never start seeing Chelsea as a team that has started getting their performance back. I want to see them win more matches because they still have a lot to do. Therefore, I am confident that Manchester City are going to win the game, and I believe they will even find it easy to win, so let's see how it goes.
Manchester City is predicted to be able to secure full points at the Etihad, even though Chelsea has shown signs of consistency in several previous matches. Pep Guardiola certainly wants to reach the top of the standings and overtake Liverpool position, if he loses points then this will be very difficult to achieve in the following weeks. In the first half season meeting the two teams played a draw, but this time I predict that won't happen again, because Pep Guardiola now has a complete squad, but he also can't just underestimate Chelsea. Pochettino squad is not easy to predict, they often play well when they meet other big teams.
Chelsea chances of securing full points are quite low, they need to work very hard to create a surprise. If you look at the winning percentage, Chelsea only has 12%, while Manchester City has 72%. In five meetings between the two teams, Chelsea have not managed to achieve a single victory. Manchester City managed to record four wins and one draw. So it is very reasonable why Manchester City chances are very good, Pep Guardiola hopes his team will perform optimally to repeat last season success.
True, Chelsea has a low chance of beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, but that doesn't mean Chelsea can't win. I don't expect Chelsea to be underestimated in this match because after all the 4-4 score in the previous match was very disappointing, so I hope Pep Guardiola has a way to avoid similar mistakes in the next match.
After De Bruyne and Haaland returned, Manchester City's current performance is better. Phil Foden is also in his best form this season and this will really help Manchester City's match plan against Chelsea. I expect a win against Chelsea, as well as when Manchester City plays Brentford in the postponed match.
