Manchester City vs Chelsea Chances of Winning

Manchester City has held the upper hand against Chelsea in recent head-to-head encounters. In their last ten matches against each other, Manchester City has been able to secure wins in 8, while Chelsea have not won even a single game. The remaining two matches ended up in a draw.

Manchester City has more advantage in this closely contested match, as the team also grabs the home advantage, combined with their strong form. In their last home match against West Ham United, the team was able to secure an impressive win by 4-1, showcasing its dominant performances in the attack. However, the team will also look into some improvements in defence, as they conceded one goal each in their last two home matches.

On the other hand, Chelsea has also regained its winning momentum with a win in their previous match against Wolverhampton Wanderers by 3-1. However, the team's form in away games still remains lacklustre, as the team lost one of their last two away games. Their previous away match against Crystal Palace ended in a draw, as they lost against Ipswich Town in another away match by 2-0. With this form, it can be said that Manchester City has a higher chance of winning as they head to the next game against Chelsea.

In its defence, the team will be having Stefan Ortega, with 2 clean sheets and 24 saves in 8 appearances, or Ederson, with 3 clean sheets and 33 saves in 14 appearances.

It can also be seen that Manchester City enters the next game against Chelsea with a comparatively better form, along with a formidable line-up, which could help the team to secure a win. Along with that, the team has been undefeated against Chelsea in their last ten head-to-head matches, which gives them another advantage. Although their defence is strong, it may not be enough to help them with a clean sheet. But taking a look at their overall strength, it can be predicted that Manchester City will be winning this match with a margin of at least one goal. It should also be noted that the team holds five clean sheets in 22 appearances and will be eager to put up a challenge against the attackers of Chelsea.

On the other hand, Chelsea will also find the match against Manchester City a bit challenging, as the team has not held a good record against them lately.

Chelsea stands at the 4th spot in the Premier League standings, with 11 wins in 22 appearances and just 4 losses, having 40 points. They have also scored 44 goals this season, with 360 shots, out of which 136 were on target.
