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.
Yeah very similar with their inconsistent performance, it is quite difficult to predict the outcome when they are playing and they are not far away from each other in the standings but I still think Chelsea looks to be in a better shape than Manchester City and if not for the fact they have a striker that misses too many chances and is not clinical enough they would have been winning matches easily because they create a lot of chances in their matches. In this game I still see Chelsea as a more capable team to win but only if they take their chances. With a prolific striker Chelsea will be better than they are currently. Predicting a winner in this game will be difficult but Manchester City have the home advantage although it’s not a guarantee for them to win.
Manchester City have a hell of tough fixtures lined up for them in the league, how many points can we expect from them? It will not be easy for them at all.
