Chelsea welcome the visitors Manchester City in the English Football League Cup – Final. The match will be held on Sunday, February, 24th, at the Wembley Stadium (London).
Chelsea’s latest performance is totally bad. Of five previous matches, they lost three, winning only Malmo FF, 2:1, and Huddersfield Town, 5:0. The defeats were to Manchester United, 0:2, Manchester City, 0:6, and Bournemouth, 0:4. The ‘Blues’ missed even to Malmo. There are many сoncerns about Chelsea’s defense, and their attack also leaves much to be desired. Thus, the Sunday clash with Manchester City is decisive for Maurizio Sarri. The team will surely progress to the next stage in the Europa League, as Malmo will hardly win back after their home defeat. Chelsea will most likely play with their reserve squad against them, while their first eleven will compete with the ‘Citizens’ – the manager cannot do otherwise. If the ‘Blues’ feature another loss, Sarri will certainly be fired; so, we believe the team will manage to score at least once.

Manchester City are one of the best world clubs at the moment. Take for example, their last encounter against Schalke 04 in the Champions League – losing five minutes before the whistle, the Englishmen could fight and won, 3:2. By all means, City won’t play with their second squad in the EFL Cup final, and they don’t have one, actually, – there is a very strong rotation within the team, and no matter who perform tomorrow, they will definitely net the weak Chelsea’s defense. That said, City’s own defense is not faultless these days. One only need to look at Fernando Luiz Rosa who sometimes plays like God and sometimes brings penalties to his team. The ‘Citizens’ allowed goals in four of six last matches. In our view, they will find the net and will miss as well – as it’s not Huddersfield Town that they are travelling to, but Chelsea.
As to us, ‘Both teams to score’ is worth betting on. As either side have issues in the defense, goals will be at both ends.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
