Fourth placed Manchester City welcome third placed Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening for their Premier League matchday 13 clash. City come into this match having not won either of their last two matches but have a very good record against the Blues at home, having lost just two of their last 11 meetings at the Etihad. Both teams can close the gap on Liverpool here with a win, but will it end all square? Find out to find our value pick for this intriguing match.

While the pundits fawned over Liverpool when the Reds beat City at Anfield just before the international break, the 3-1 scoreline didn’t tell the full story of the match. City had their chances to level the game and should have had at least one penalty. But y’know, saying that it’s still fun to see manager Pep Guardiola lose his temper the odd time, not that it happens very often.

City’s home record in the Premier League is incredibly good; of their last 35 league matches they’ve lost just twice, this is reflected in the odds, City are currently priced at just 1.45 to win. So far this season, City are averaging 3.17 goals scored per match and conceding just 0.83 and over their five most recent league matches at home have scored 13 and conceded five.

In team news, Bernado Silva is suspended and goalkeeper Ederson is still a doubt but could return as he has been in training. Check team news closer to kick off.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips and Predictions: Chelsea

Chelsea almost have a bye in this match, they won’t be harshly judged should they lose, well, so long as it’s not by a huge margin anyway. Frank Lampard’s team have come on in leaps and bounds since their opening day mauling away to Manchester United where they lost 4-0.

Chelsea have won their last five away league matches on the trot, scoring a very impressive 18 goals over those five matches and conceding eight. Chelsea’s approach being to simply outscore opposition teams while on the road. Easier said than done against a team with a stingy defence like Manchester City. On their travels this season Chelsea are averaging 3.0 goals scored and 2.0 goals conceded per match, this is reflected in the odds. Over 2.5 goals is around 1.42.

In team news Chelsea may be without Christian Pulisic but we’ll know sooner to kick off. N’golo Kante played for France over the international break so should return for the Blues here.
