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.
It seems that we have the same speculation regarding this match, I am quite sure that City will return to their actual performance. It is true that City's condition is not stable, but City is a strong team. It's just that the problem is that they are in their worst performance phase, but in their last 8 matches City have started to appear without defeat. Based on H2H, in the previous match Chelsea lost with a score of 2-0 at Chelsea's home base. In the next meeting, Chelsea will visit the Etihad, City's home base. So this match will certainly not be easy for Chelsea to achieve full results even though City's work is unstable. But what is unique is that both teams are equally productive in scoring goals, although Chelsea is much better because they are one level above City's position which is ranked 5th. In addition, bookmakers are slightly favoring Manchester City, especially since they are playing in front of their own supporters who will certainly provide encouragement and motivation to perform as well as possible. But on the other hand, of course Chelsea will not give up easily, they will work hard to defeat City while maintaining their position in the standings. anyway, let's just wait and see how City performs in the Champions League qualifiers against PSG before we return to discussing the match against Chelsea in week 23.
