Prediction

  • Manchester City's round of 16 first leg victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League in midweek was their 11th in a row.
  • The treble winners head into gameweek 25 in second place, two points behind league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
  • After a rocky run of form came to a head with the 4-2 defeat at home to Wolves two weeks ago, Chelsea have won twice on the road since, to restore some positivity at Stamford Bridge.
  • The Blues played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with City when these two sides met in the reverse fixture back in November.
  • This time around, however, it should be the hosts who take all three points.

    If Liverpool beat City at home on March 10, they will win the league.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again - this season's Manchester City team is mediocre.

    If indeed City starts this way (4+1 up front) should be goal fest.
