Manchester City is the undisputed leader of the English Premier League in the 2020/2021 season. The team has to win only one match to gain the next champion’s title ahead of schedule. The Citizens can win gold medals for the seventh time in their history and for the third time with coach Pep Guardiola. Taking into account all the tournaments, the Sky Blues won five matches in a row. Do not forget that the team from Manchester is claiming another title this season. After Guardiola's men defeated Tottenham and won the English League Cup, they dealt with PSG again and advanced to the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in club history. The Citizens will face Chelsea in the decisive match of the main European Cup. Rehearsal for the finals is scheduled for this weekend, when the 35th round of the English Premier League takes place.

As for Chelsea, it is not the first time in their history that the change of the head coach and the shake-up of the team give results. The club's management said goodbye to Frank Lampard in the middle of the season. His place was taken by the ex-coach of PSG Thomas Tuchel. And the Blues changed instantly. They began to possess the ball more, concede few, and rarely lose. Moreover, they made it to the FA Cup final, reached the Champions League final, and have good chances to stay in the TOP-4 of the Premier League at the end of the season. The fans of the Pensioners can only put their hands together for Tuchel and his coaching staff.
It's hard to say who will win. Most likely, we will see cautious football. The teams will not open and run in the attack from the first minutes. Manchester City players can secure the champion’s title ahead of schedule, but there is no need to rush things when the gold medals are almost on their necks. Moreover, the opponent is very unyielding and strong. Both teams love to possess the ball. The defensive lines of both clubs began to play reliably, and the goalkeepers often end matches with clean sheets. Three weeks earlier, Chelsea had shown how to beat Manchester City, which was dominating most of the game. Let us remind you that the Pensioners won in the FA Cup semifinals with a score of 1-0. Guardiola is a great strategist. The upcoming meeting is a great opportunity for him to once again study his opponents and prepare for the Champions League final. The players got tired after the Champions League semifinals. Perhaps we will see a partial rotation of the rosters on both sides. Let's risk betting on low production.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
