That's absolutely true because of the outstanding match left for Manchester city to play. I doubt Chelsea FC would even be able to hold them tonight to a draw because with De Bruyne back and the midfield in complete lock, the Chelsea attackers would have to rely on mostly set pieces and quick counter if they are to secure any goal.

Manchester City's performance is quite good and I'm not sure Chelsea can stop Manchester City, let alone Manchester City which has just been filled with its flagship players. Maybe with Chelsea's performance being quite bad so far, Manchester City will easily beat Chelsea.
Not to underestimate Chelsea, but we also have to look at the strength of the two teams and there is a very significant difference between Manchester City and Chelsea.

Chelsea's performance this first half has been very brilliant, they've had more chances to score more than Manchester city side, Jackson just missed a one on one with Manchester city goal keeper, sterling had same chance too to score but was clumsy with the ball. Chelsea have really put some pressure on Manchester city with their counter attack style of play. Chelsea just need to utilize their opportunity if not, Manchester city can bounce back and make huge surprise against them.

If you have gotten and or know the results that occur at half time, then I'm sure it looks like you will laugh or just smile . Grin

Because after all, eventhough Manchester City had very good goal attempts compared to Chelsea but ya, the fact is Chelsea managed to win at half time with a score of 0-1. Amazingly, the scorer for Chelsea in this first half was a former Manchester City player and that player was Sterling. Obviously, with this 0-1 lead then I believe Chelsea will maintain this lead and if that happens, then Chelsea will play full defense in the second half.

But yes, even though Bruyne and Haaland played in the starting lineup but ya, it still seems not easy for Manchester City to make a goal in the first half . But ya,there is still a second half and of course Manchester City will play even more optimally to be able to turn things around, although it is not easy at all.
