Chelsea v Man City Betting Tips: Pep’s men to continue winning run?

Odds and preview ahead of top-four tussle

Manchester City are looking to take a firm grip on the Premier League title race this weekend, but face a Chelsea side yet to lose at home this season.

However, cracks are beginning to appear for Maurizio Sarri’s side, who lost at Molineux in midweek.

So, can the Blues bounce back on home soil? Or will Guardiola’s men grab an eighth straight league win?

Head-to-head

Over history, it’s Chelsea who have had more to shout about with 66 wins to the Citizens’ 55.

However, including the Community Shield, City have won each of the last three meetings between these sides – and eight consecutive games in London.

Pep Guardiola’s side have also mustered up clean sheets in five of the last eight head-to-heads.

Likely XIs

Both sides are pretty consistent 4-3-3 outfits at present, and are likely to more-or-less match one another tactically in this clash.

Following goals in each of his last three league outings, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could start in a midfield three, alongside N’Golo Kante and Jorginho.

City missed Sergio Aguero through injury against Watford, and he’s touch-and-go to start in the capital. Further back, a centre-back pairing of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones looks likely, with Vincent Kompany still carrying a knock.
