Man City v Chelsea Betting Tips: Pep’s men to boost their title bid?

The visitors have upgraded their striking options since the last meeting. Gonzalo Higuain is set to lead the line, with Eden Hazard and Willian providing the wing wizardry.

Further back, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could return to the starting XI alongside Kante and Jorginho in that midfield threesome.

Key Battles

If the Blues are to get anything from their trip up North, they’ll need to stop the Sterling-Sane link-up. Four of the German’s 11 goals this term have been assisted by the pacy England international.

That’s as well as the threat of Aguero, of course. He’s absolutely lethal in this fixture, so the Chelsea backline will really have their hands full.

Higuain bagged a brace in last weekend’s clash with Huddersfield Town. While this is a much tougher fixture, he’ll undoubtedly cause the hosts more problems than Alvaro Morata.

Chelsea are among the top sides for number of crosses this term, with more than the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Man United. With a genuine target to hit in their frontline now, the hosts will need to keep Hazard and Willian quiet out wide.
