Preview Chelsea
Graham Potter attended a disappointing draw against Nottingham Forest on New Year’s Day and is saddled with a long list of injuries. These are key players he won’t be able to count on for several weeks, such as Armando Broja, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kanté.
Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy should be available, also out for a shot.
Unknown Chelsea, outside the area of those who fight above, with a decent tenth place. This is why he hastens the exchanges and wants to pump up the transfer market by signing the Argentine Enzo Fernández, a recent revelation at the World Cup, for whom he will pay Benfica over 120 million euros.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella; Jorginho, Matthew Kovacic, Mason Mount; Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling.
Manchester City preview
Manchester City have taken four points from nine in their last three games. Pep Guardiola knows that his coaches can no longer give up if they want to fight up front and not lose track of an Arsenal who look like serious candidates for the title.
Now with all the World Cup available, he has to rediscover the performance shown in the first few days, when he seemed unstoppable (he played 10 games without losing). Erling Haaland is the only one who never fails: he has 21 goals in 15 games and aims to break league goals records if he continues at this pace.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ederson; Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake; Ilkay Gundogan, Rodriguez, Kevin De Bruyne; Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Phil Foden.
JefeBet prediction
It is known that it is not easy to go to Stamford Bridge and emerge victorious, but Manchester City will take advantage of the irregularity of a Chelsea that seems to be in transition. Guardiola’s men will win in a difficult match.
Prediction: Ghana Manchester City 2 – 1.
