Chelsea - Manchester City: Form Analysis

Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge having dropped points in two of their last three league games. The final game before the World Cup break saw them lose at home to Brentford. When the season resumed, they beat Leeds United 3-1 away but then could only draw 1-1 at home to Everton at the weekend. They've also had a 3-2 home win over Liverpool in the EFL Cup. They can't afford to drop more points in the Premier League, especially if Arsenal beat Newcastle on January 3. City can close the gap between them and leaders Arsenal to just five points if winning this game. They have won three of their last four away Premier League matches but have dropped points in three of their last six.

Chelsea also had a poor result at the weekend. Their final game of 2022 saw them held to a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest after taking a first-half lead. That draw left them seven points behind fourth placed Manchester United who host Bournemouth on January 3. Chelsea resumed the Premier League season with a 2-0 home win over Bournemouth, before the draw at Forest. They have only won one of their last seven Premier League matches. A form guide for the last five Premier League after January 2 had them down in 16th place having earned six points less than City. Home form has seen Chelsea win one of their last three at home, drawing with Manchester United and losing to Arsenal.

Chelsea & Manchester City Squad Analysis

Chelsea will have to make a decision whether to recall Mateo Kovacic. They have a choice of also fielding Jorginho or Denis Zakaria. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is back on training and could be on the bench. Manchester City have some pleasant selection decisions to make. Julian Alvarez came on a sub at Everton and could start this game. Then again, so could Phil Foden, Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and Ikay Gundogan. Guardiola also has Kalvin Phillips in contention after feeling better about his physique now back in training. Some of those named are more likely to feature in the January 8 FA Cup tie between these two clubs than in this Premier League match.

Our Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction

Both teams need to win this Premier League clash. City have a chance to narrow the gap between them and the league leaders to just five points. Chelsea can't keep dropping points as they are now 10 adrift of fourth place. The home side have only beaten Bournemouth in their last seven league fixtures and could only draw at Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Manchester City failed to hold onto a 1-0 lead over Everton in their last league fixture. They have so much more strength in their squad though and have won three of their last four away league games. Our Chelsea v Manchester City prediction is for an away win for City.
