Manchester City Team News

Manchester City is in first place in the table with four points more and a game in hand than second-placed Arsenal, which means that a win in this match would secure them first place.

City has been playing phenomenally since the beginning of February, and coach Guardiola has perfectly timed his form for the end of the season and the decisive games. They have won in the last eleven league matches, and if you add to that the qualification in the final of the Champions League, it is obvious how “Citizens” are playing.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, played on Wednesday, City met Real Madrid. Although everyone expected an uncertain match like some of the games these rivals have played, the host demonstrated power from the first minute, and there was only one team on the field. Walker closed down Vinicius brilliantly, while Modric, Kroos, Alaba, and Camavinga looked unrecognizable.

Manchester will indeed have the same approach in this match because, with a victory against their great rival, they will secure a new title of champion of England.

Chelsea Team News

Chelsea is in 11th place. It is the best position they can finish this season, which is the club’s worst result in 27 years. The fact that they are points closer to the relegation zone than the position that leads to Europe clearly shows how bad the year is for “Blues.”

After poor results, Frank Lampard came as a temporary manager in April, but even the change of coach did not bring a change for the better because Chelsea lost six matches in a row. In the penultimate round, the team from London beat Bournemouth away 3:1, and when it was thought that Chelsea would improve their form at least until the end of the season, a draw at home against Nottingham followed.

Lampard will have to get the best of his players if he wants to not return from Manchester humiliated, and the question is whether that will be enough against a strong Manchester City.
