And next week's match will certainly be a determining factor for Chelsea, whether they will stay in fourth position or experience another decline to fifth position in the Premier League. Because next week Chelsea will compete against Manchester City. I think this match will be quite difficult for Chelsea. Because even though Manchester City's performance is currently in poor condition, I am sure Manchester City will not let Chelsea take the three points easily in this match. So Chelsea really has to prepare a good strategy to win the match against Manchester City next week.
This will be a slightly more difficult match for Chelsea because even though Manchester City's performance has not fully recovered, during a big match like this, Manchester City will certainly put more pressure on Chelsea, especially since the standings are very much determined by who will win the match. Manchester City is slowly starting to recover and they are starting to show big changes while Chelsea is also starting to experience a decline in previous performance so it will be a little more difficult to face the pressure in a big match like that. It is difficult to beat Manchester City and maybe considering a draw is much more likely to happen and even then Chelsea must be able to play better than before.
there are a lot of factors to be put into consideration when you analyze this fixture and for the most part, Chelsea is in a better position than Manchester city. this is the second leg of their fixture for the season and so far, Chelsea has not won any of their big game. man city has a tough game against PSG which can cause fatigue while Chelsea has a lot of time to recover and plan for the fixture. and with Chalobah back in the team and James obviously playing in the next game, the defense will have a good structure while the attack already has options they can use to give it a fair fight. but from the Manchester city angle, this is going to be that game they will want to win so easily because it is the guarantee that will usher them back into the top four of the table. pep doggedness vs Maresca's brilliance will get tested yet again.
