Chelsea Team News
Since the end of the Roman Abramovic era, Chelsea isn’t the same team. Not on the pitch, not in the transfer market.
They spent a lot of money on new signings during the summer and they will spend a lot during the January transfer window, but Chelsea is very poor at the moment.
The managerial change didn’t bring anything good. Chelsea was 6th when Thomas Tuchel get sacked and now with Graham Potter, they are 10th on the table, four months later.
Chelsea is not in terrible form. For a long time, they weren’t in such a bad run like this. They have only one win in the last seven Premier League games. Because of that run, they slipped on the table to 10th place with 25 points and seven wins after 16 rounds.
Potter must change things immediately. In the next couple of weeks, they have games against Manchester City twice, Liverpool, West Ham, Fulham twice, and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. This is a very important period of the season for them because they continue to struggle the will get knockout from all competitions in a space of a couple of weeks.
Chelsea struggles a lot with the attack. They scored only 20 goals which are unacceptable. Their opponent scored twice as many goals this season. In the previous seven games, Chelsea only once scored more the one goal and it was at home against Bournemouth. They failed to score in only one home game.
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City lose a touch with Arsenal after an unconvincing draw with Everton and they are now eight points behind the leader. But with a game in a hand. This is a very important game for Pep’s side because Arsenal drops points against Newcastle on Tuesday, and they are now in a position to close a gap of five points.
Manchester City also has a difficult schedule in the next couple of weeks. They will play against Chelsea twice, Tottenham twice, and Manchester United and all these fixtures are in the next 30 days.
The good thing for City is that they always have a good reaction after bad results. After every defeat and after every draw this season, they won the next match and scored at least two goals.
Manchester City has the best attack in the league with 44 goals scored and they failed to score in only one game. Only Arsenal and Newcastle conceded fewer than them in the league.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City is a big favourite here for a win and for all three points. They must catch Arsenal and they will have much more motivation to do that after Arsenal drops points.
Chelsea is struggling with injuries and results, and the situation in the club isn’t great before this game and the run of some difficult and decisive games.
Only once in the last six games between these two teams, we saw a game with goals. Every time we expect much more, but we usually get nothing. We hope that now things will be different because we expect goals here.
