Chelsea vs Manchester City - Premier League Preview and Odds

December 08, 2018 20:00pm - Stamford Bridge

Premier League

Chelsea will look to bounce back from last weekend`s defeat to newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers by toppling a Manchester City who could lose top spot in the league on Saturday if chasing Liverpool win at Bournemouth.

After a bright start to the season, the Blues suffered their first wobble under Maurizio Sarri losing two and drawing one of their last four games. The low point of that run was last was the defeat away to Wolves that left them 10 points behind the league leaders with 15 games played.

Only goal difference is keeping the Londoners in the top four and defeat on Saturday could see them drop to fifth depending on Arsenal`s result.

In stark contrast, Manchester City have won their last seven Premier League matches in a row and have not been beaten since the home defeat to Manchester United back in April when the title was al but wrapped up. Since them they have won 18 and drawn just three league matches.

No team has scored more goals (45) and only Liverpool have conceded less than the seven goals City have shipped since the start of the season. As a result, they look well priced to win the game at Evens.

Betting odds and tips

City have won on their last two visits to Stamford Bridge and come into this in much better form. And there won`t be many opportunities to back them at Evens to win this season. They have already kept clean sheets at Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotpsur and have only conceded twice in their last eight away matches making the Win to Nil bet look tempting at 11/4.

You can back Manchester City to Win at Evens or to Win to Nil at 11/4..
