“Obviously we also have great players to play against and equal them so we can hurt them. Man City are a great team and that has to be acknowledged.”

“They know how to win and over the years in the Premier League they have performed at an extraordinary level. Now we just have to match that level and then we will have a big chance to win.”

Of course, Kovacic’s level of confidence is very reasonable. Especially since Chelsea was handled by Tuchel, the team from London was recorded as unbeaten against Guardiola’s squad.

In the 2020-2021 season, it was recorded that Tuchel’s Chelsea met Man City three times. All three can be won by the Blues, of which two matches are the FA Cup semi-final and the 2020-2021 Champions League final.

With the record of their last meeting, Kovacic is even more confident and believes Chelsea will destroy Man City in their meeting this weekend. Especially now that Chelsea has become increasingly dangerous since the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku’s purchase from Inter Milan in the summer of 2021 is like an answer to Chelsea’s barren attack. With the presence of Lukaku, Chelsea is clearly increasingly dangerous up front.
