Chelsea welcome the visitors Manchester City in the English Premiere League – Round 16. The match will be held on Saturday, December 8th at the Stamford Bridge (London).
The tally of 13 points from 8 games that Chelsea have attained is not bad, especially given that they did not have home losses long ago. At first sight, the ‘Blues’ perform very well on their turf, but any conclusions are questionable when it comes to matches with the opponents like Manchester City, as the hosts may fail here. Chelsea are currently third in the standings, ten points behind the City, which makes the latter unreachable. Even having one spare game, Chelsea are unlikely to come closer to their opponent. Anyways, they will fight and won’t give up.

The ‘Citizens’ rightly occupy the first line in the table, having played well in all their league matches. The record of the latest fixtures is amazing – they got wins over Manchester United (3-1), over West Ham (4-0), and Bournemouth (3-1); and registered only one draw – in the Champions League clash with Lyon (2-2), wherein Guardiola’s men have shown their character, playing back from 1-2. We can list many teams that Manchester City have won, but, in brief, the ‘Citizens’’ last defeat to Lyon goes back yet to the beginning of September. In the national competition, they’ve had no losses in fifteen rounds, and they have conceded six goals only. Impressive indeed.
Considering the opponents’ head-to-head record, the guests look certainly better, but they have a great breakaway and feel exhausted after the Champions League fixtures. Hence, we can argue with the bookies who favor the ‘Citizens’. There is no favorite in the coming match, so we’d better not bet on any specific result. The both teams have not produced over two goals in their head-to-heads, which is logical, as the opponents are more or less equal, and they boast star defensive players. We believe we will see something similar tonight. There is no use for Manchester City to rush forward; the ‘Blues’ will find it hard to break the defense that conceded only six goals on the road.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
