Manchester City is currently in top form and they are also competing fiercely in the race for the Premier League title this season so in my opinion the percentage of surprises is very small and also Chelsea's current performance is also quite bad, in terms of quality of course there is a significant comparison of strength between Chelsea and Manchester City.
Looks at the form of Kevin de bruyne and Phil Foden, they are firing in top form and Haaland hungry. Chelsea are done for! there is no way Manchester City will not win that game and possibly embarrass Chelsea in the process. Palmer will not perform, Pep knows his weakness and the exact player that can bully him. Manchester City will score many goals against Chelsea. Eyes will also be on West Ham to see if they can bounce back from their loss to Arsenal, they were humiliated, Nottingham Forest is not also an easy opponent for them, they may also loose in that game.
Whenever you see some players like De Bruyne and Haaland are in good form and they had good performance in Manchester City you can expect to see perfect performance from this team. Manchester City was getting far from the top of the table and they had been having bad performances recently in the premier league and even other teams like Arsenal and Tottenham got better results in the first games but since De Bruyne backed in the field they are again backed to the good form.
In the end, Manchester City got 1 point from the match. Rodri Hernandez's goal drew the match 1-1.
Manchester City players dominated the match and there is no doubt that City played very well. A lot of attacks have been managed by City players. But the performance of Chelsea's defenders surprised me today. I haven't seen such a composed performance from Chelsea's defense in a long time. Chelsea's overall gameplay has improved. The bonding between the Chelsea players is also very strong now. For this reason, even after performing well, Manchester City players are not able to score more than one goal.
Nobody expected Manchester City to lose points. At least in my circle, no one made such a prediction. We know that the Premier League is a very competitive league and we know that there will always be matches like this. No match is won without playing, and today Chelsea showed this to football fans. Before the game I didn't think Chelsea could get a point and I knew City needed this win to win the title. City lost points in this match and suffered a great loss in the race.
Chelsea's goal was scored in the 42nd minute and City could not do what they wanted because they did not react early to this goal. Manchester City should not lose points like this in their home matches.
I agree with you. It was unexpected that Manchester City would lose points in this match. Chelsea were not weak opponents. But Manchester City have played very well in their last matches and won. City players played very well against Copenhagen in the Champions League match as well. And the most important thing is that in the last matches we have seen De Bruyne has been in great form and has scored in almost every match. Even then, City could not win today's match. We haven't seen a better performance from Haaland. If Haaland played well, Manchester City could have won. Haaland made a total of 9 shots in today's match. On the other hand, Chelsea's entire team made 9 shots.
