Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview

Manchester City will look to seal the Premier League title this Sunday when they welcome Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium.

The Cityzens have had a brilliant season where they are on course to win three trophies, having booked their place in the FA Cup and Champions League finals. Their last outing, a 4-0 win over Real Madrid, proved their credentials in their attempt to win a historic treble.

The win against Carlo Ancelotti’s side made it 23 games without defeat for Pep Guardiola’s side (W19, D4). In the Premier League, they are on a run of eleven consecutive wins and a 12th in succession here would crown them Champions of England for a historic third consecutive season.

Having beaten Chelsea in their last five H2Hs without conceding a goal, City will feel confident of getting that 12th win at the Etihad where they have won their last 16 games.

Chelsea has never lost six consecutive matches without scoring to any opponent in their history. Doing so here would be the unfortunate cherry on top of their own historic season which will most likely see them finish in the bottom half of the table for the first time since 1996.

However, Frank Lampard’s side have shown signs of life lately by going two games undefeated (W1, D1) after losing six games in a row before then.

But the Blues could be in for a long day at the Etihad as they have won none of their last 14 Premier League meetings against teams starting the day above them (D4, L10) and after winning only two of their last 15 away assignments (D3, L10), it could be another embarrassing outing for the Blues.
