On January 5, Stamford Bridge (London) will host the match of the 19th round of the English Premier League, in which Chelsea will compete with Manchester City. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Chelsea
The club starts the new calendar year with the hopes that it will be the time of steady progress. 2022 was remembered in history as the end of “Abramovich’s era”, with whom the middle peasant of the Premier League won all possible trophies, including one more victory in the Champions League with Tuchel. The German specialist is no longer in the club – that is the result of the disastrous start of the new season. However, under the rule of Potter, who became his successor, there was a situational rise in October that was followed by an avalanche of injuries and a series of defeats. In this case, the long pause was pretty beneficial. After it, “the Blues” beat Bournemouth by means of Havertz’s goal and assist (albeit losing James Reece due to a new injury). At the same time, the team took only 1 point in the game with modest Nottingham Forest – a 1-1 draw with the newcomer of the Premier League. Taking into account the aims, it is not a surprise that great finance is actively used to sign the contracts with famous players; but Badiashile and Enzo Fernandez are unlikely to take part in the upcoming match.
Manchester City
The team is behind Arsenal London in the Premier League standings. On the one hand, taking into account the constant misfires, it is hard to believe that “the Gunners” will pass the second half of the season with the same statistics. On the other hand, the metropolitan competitor is unexpectedly getting closer to the desirable trophy every round, that’s why the favourite should think not only about its dream of winning the Champions League, but also about playing matches in the inner arena as focused as possible, especially, using Haaland's incredible statistics. He did not slow down – after a long pause he scored in the struggle against Liverpool in the EFL Cup and in the match with Leeds. At the same time, he did not score in the battle with Everton and the champion lost points again!
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Manchester City has got 3 wins in a row. The team knocked “the Aristocrats” out of the EFL Cup, winning that match with a 2-0 score.
Predictions
Bookmakers do not believe in City's second misfire in a row. Let's agree with them – this Chelsea should be beaten even in an away match (odd: 1.68).
