Chelsea vs Manchester City Match Preview and Team News
Chelsea
A regular in the top 4 for many years, Chelsea has not lived up to their expectations at all this season. The Blues are indeed not invited for the moment in the race for the Champions League, and they must, for the moment, be satisfied with a place in the soft underbelly of the classification, in 8th position, with seven units behind the Big 4. Too weak heading into the World Cup, Graham Potter’s men ended the first phase of the league with three straight defeats against Brighton 4-1, Arsenal 0-1, and Newcastle 1-0. The Londoners, on the other hand, were able to revive on their return to competition by winning against Bournemouth 2-0, but they had to share the points a few days later with the poorly ranked Nottingham Forest 1-1 during a meeting where they greatly lacked offensive inspiration. Hakim Ziyech plays fantastically and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defense. Many clubs are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Jorginho is one of the best midfielders in the world, all praise for him.
Manchester City
Manchester City will travel to Stamford Bridge without defensive executive Ruben Dias who suffered a World Cup injury with Portugal. Just titled with Argentina, striker Julian Alvarez has not yet made his comeback, but he could do so this week. The captains Ederson, Stones, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and De Bruyne have already returned to the pitch, and they will be there for this match. Offensively, the Norwegian Haaland was again decisive against Everton. He has already scored 21 goals this season in the Premier League alone. Although Manchester City has not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that Manchester City has enjoyed eight wins in their last 12 fixtures at this level. Phil Foden shows his talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Jack Grealish is the engine of this team, he goes through the opponent’s defense like a fast train, has excellent ball control, and the English international can be satisfied with his performance.
