Man City Form
Man City have climbed back into top-four contention in the Premier League after a five-match unbeaten run. The EPL champions are fifth and two points behind Chelsea.
City won three consecutive matches, beating Leicester 2-0, West Ham 4-1 and Salford 8-0 in late December and early January. Pep Guardiola’s side then gave up a 2-0 lead and drew 2-2 at Brentford before thrashing Ipswich 6-0.
The Citizens’ patchy form continued after giving up another 2-0 advantage and losing 4-2 against PSG. Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored early in the second half but City faced 26 shots and conceded four goals.
Man City Injuries & Team News
Midfielder Rodri is out for the season with an ACL injury.
Forward Oscar Bobb and defender Nathan Ake won’t feature due to injury.
Erling Haaland has scored five goals in his last five appearances and is likely to start.
Chelsea Form
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League and lead fifth-placed Man City by two points. The Blues have dropped points in five of their previous six league games.
Chelsea were winless in four, drawing with Everton 0-0 and Palace 1-1 and losing to Ipswich 2-0 and Fulham 2-1. The Londoners replied with a 5-0 win over Morecambe and dropped further points in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
Maresca’s outfit secured their first league win of 2025 by beating Wolves 3-1 at home on Monday. The Blues were dominant with 3.15-1.07 XG and Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke got the goals.
Chelsea Injuries & Team News
Forward Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended.
Defensive duo Benoît Badiashile and Wesley Fofana are unavailable due to injury.
Midfielder Roméo Lavia is also sidelined here with an injury.
Verdict
City and Chelsea are unconvincing at the back and the inconsistent sides can produce another high-scorer here. Sticking with BTTS and over 2.5 goals are the best bets.
