Statistically they look the same, so this is really not an easy match for them. Both Chelsea and Manchester City need a win to maintain their position. But in terms of appearance, they can also be said to be the same when we look at their statistics in the English League this season.
However, Manchester City has another advantage, yes they will play as hosts and usually the team that plays as hosts is more favored to win the match. On the other hand, they also have to play a match in the Champions League first which will be very draining.
After seeing Manchester City's performance at the champions league this evening, I begin to have some doubts in their abilities to be able to possibly win this game, if we do a quick look back at last season's performance against Chelsea, you will agree with me that Chelsea was at their worse and City at their best yet Chelsea didn't loose to City and now the reverse is the case, I'm not expecting any less, maybe a magic may save the day but currently it doesn't look like City have got the magician and as for the blues they have their confidence at it's peak currently with slight inconsistencies, so let's see how it balances out
