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.
This is Manchester city home Chelsea are coming to play and there is no how the match is going to be tough with Manchester city, because Chelsea will not going to achieve victory from them because their head coach will allow their potential players to work in a way they will perform well through out. I know that Manchester city is still experiencing some challenges in the areas of defense and midfield which their head coach is not fix yet, but they will not allow Chelsea to take advantage of that to draw the match 1-1 which I know that Manchester city players will not allow such mistakes to happen. The two team will definitely have a goal in this match, because Chelsea are very good this days which I know they will score goal but Manchester city will defeat them 2-1 at the end of the match.
