Manchester City are closing in on the title and have a 16 point lead going into the weekend. Just a few days after winning the Carabao Cup, they easily disposed of Arsenal again on Thursday to go three more points closer to the league title. Now they host the current Premier League champions Chelsea who are only the 22 points behind the league leaders and their target now is to secure a top four finish and somehow get past Barcelona in the Champions League. City are unbeaten at home this season and have gone 26 home league games without defeat since a loss to Chelsea in December 2016. They just keep on scoring goals at least twice in their last 13 home league matches. With Aguero in top form this could be another difficult afternoon for Chelsea as City bid to do the double on them after winning 1-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season. Chelsea are fifth in the Premier League at the start of the weekend and two points behind fourth placed Tottenham. That's a gap that should be wider by the time this game kicks off with Tottenham more than likely to beat Huddersfield on Saturday, Chelsea have only won two of their last six league and cup games and away from home in the Premier League have two wins in the last seven. There will be plenty of talent on show in this game but City have home advantage and the players in form, so go for a home victory,
