The Premier League is back in action this week with another round of games. On Thursday, Chelsea and Manchester City under Pep Guardiola square off in a crucial matchup at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who are in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have failed to live up to expectations thus far this season, is currently in ninth place.
In their previous match, the Blues were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest, so they will need to step it up this week. On the other hand, Manchester City is currently in second place in the league but has struggled in recent weeks. In their previous match, the reigning champions were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Everton, so they have a point to prove in this one.

Chelsea vs Man City Prediction :
Since returning to the Premier League, Manchester City has not performed particularly well, so they will need to adjust their strategies for this match. Erling Haaland will try to up his goal total this week and is on track to break several records this season.
Under Graham Potter, Chelsea still hasn’t found their feet, despite the fact that they have the potential to be explosive on their day. At the moment, Manchester City is the superior team, and they should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City
