Yes, is as if Chelsea had a different spirit today against Manchester City, maybe it's because it's a big game so they need to prove themselves, However Chelsea have been able to destabilize Manchester City attacking Force this evening at least for these first half. The goal would have been more than one goal for this first half if not for the chances Chelsea missed. One thing I notice about Manchester City is that, once they are under pressure they find it difficult to compose themselves and do all those their magic that they normally do. Chelsea should try and maintain the tempo during the second half, because Manchester city would like to give a serious fight.
Chelsea is strange, they play well against big teams, but they are too weak against lower teams. If they manage to beat Manchester City today, it would be a big surprise as Chelsea are not favorites to win. Chelsea have played well in defense so far and they haven't made a mistake, but Manchester City looks like they will score if they keep pressing.
Chelsea's game strategy so far has been very effective, especially when defending and also in building attacks. Chelsea took advantage of its chances despite tending to defend, but I believe such a strategy ultimately only allows for a higher chance of a draw rather than a win.
