Chelsea vs Manchester City 05.01.2023

Chelsea are a club in dire straits at the moment both on and off the pitch. A miserable draw against minnows Nottingham has them rooted in midtable with a title challenge all but a pipe dream right now as they are well off the pace. Manager Graham Potter who took over the reins from sacked German tactician Thomas Tuchel has not found any mojo particularly away from Stamford Bridge. He will be hoping to stop the bleeding when they welcome Man City to the Bridge in their midweek league fixture.

It is not all hunky-dory at Manchester City either. The champions are fast loosening their grip in the defence of their title as a resurgent Arsenal has thrown them the gauntlet and taken a commanding 7-point advantage to start the year following City’s 1-1 draw with Everton in their final match of 2022 which the Gunners took full advantage of with a 4-2 win away at Brighton.

With Chelsea’s confidence at rock bottom right now and City keen to keep pace with Arsenal atop the league table, we expect a one-way traffic here and we are backing City to get all three points on offer with a comfortable win.
