Betting on Chelsea F.C.
Graham Potter witnessed a disappointing draw against Nottingham Forest on New Year‘s Day, and also carries a long injury list. Key players who will be out for several weeks include Armando Broja, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kanté.
Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who was also out due to a knock, is expected to be available.
With a discrete tenth place, Chelsea is unknown and outside of the main contenders. Due to this, it is making adjustments and seeking to make the biggest move in the transfer market by signing Argentinian Enzo Fernandez, a recent World Cup revelation, for which it would pay Benfica more than 120 million euros.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga, César Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling.
Betting on Manchester City
Manchester City have taken four points from nine in their last three games. If Pep Guardiola’s team wants to compete at the top and not fall behind Arsenal, who appear to be legitimate title contenders, they can no longer give up.
They need to replicate the performance they had in the first days of the World Cup, when they seemed invincible, now that all the World Cup players are available (they went 10 games without losing). Only Erling Haaland is a perfect shooter; with 21 goals in 15 games, he is on pace to surpass all of the league’s scoring records.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ederson, Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Phil Foden.
JefeBet Prediction
You know it’s not easy to go to Stamford Bridge and come away with a win, but Manchester City will take advantage of Chelsea’s inconsistency as they look to be in transition. So, we predict that Guardiola’s team will win in a tough encounter.
Prediction: Manchester City wins 2 to 1.
