Chelsea hosts Manchester City in round 31 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 25th at Stamford Bridge (London)
Chelsea is at the peak of the fight for the places in the Champions League, but I can’t say that Lampard’s men pass this test perfectly. The return after quarantine turned out to be very modest. The victory was eventually gained, but the Blues beat Aston Villa (1:2) and had to win back after a 0-1 score, so this is not the game due to which you can win the competition with many other applicants for fourth place. Chelsea has a very weak defense, and this is probably its main problem. The Pensioners conceded 40 goals in 30 meetings, and the neighbors in the standings conceded many times less. For example, Leicester, which is in the third position, has only 29 goals conceded, and the fifth Manchester United conceded 31 times. Well, given that the upcoming match will be against Man City, who is perfect in the attack, the problem of poor defense rises more than ever.

The Citizens feel great after quarantine. They beat Arsenal (3-0) and Burnley (5-0). The Manchester team scores a lot (as usual) and does not even concede. The most impressive thing is that Burnley and Arsenal delivered ZERO shots on target of Manchester City in two matches after quarantine. It seems that the Citizens did not waste time in quarantine and carefully trained to the extent of their capacity. Well, such a bright sign as Chelsea-Manchester City doesn’t offer any special intrigue about the result of the match. The Citizens are favorites, and they will surely manage to put the next three points in their piggy bank. When no Champions League matches put pressure on the Citizens, they seem ready to hold every match of the Premier League perfectly.
Perhaps there’s nothing to invent, even though the London team needs points more. However, I think that Man City will gain another victory. An excellent attack and indestructible defense - you can describe the game of the Citizens after a three-month downtime like that. I will bet on the victory of Manchester.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win
