The central match of the sixteenth matchday of the EPL is the face-to-face encounter between Chelsea and Manchester City, the top 4 teams, kicks off on 8 December at Stamford Bridge. Although both of them are top teams, they are solving different tasks.
Delight of Maurizio Sarri's team performance has been changed by embarrassment. Does he not come to England only to show Jorginho? As soon as the Brazilian’s performance was studied and he was completely blocked on the pitch Chelsea lost their efficiency. The defeat in the games against Tottenham and Everton can be somehow explained by the strength of the opposition. The question is what super strength have Wolverhampton possessed to beat Chelsea 2-1 on their home ground this week?
On the other hand, some experts believe that Sarri was preparing his team for the match against MC as Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic did not take part in the game.
Josep Guardiola's team are increasing the margin between them and the third team of the EPL. Liverpool are the only team who are chasing them and they can do nothing with that so far.
Although Man. City made a narrow victory over Watford 2-1 they had experienced no serious problems during the match. However, it was obvious that MC players felt discomfortable under the opposition’s pressure. Chelsea may have a chance to win the game if their tactical formation will imply the defense line’s moving up close to the central circle area.
Not only Chelsea were preparing to the match at Stamford Bridge. Man City were doing similar things as Guardiola did not let Sergio Aguero to play to let him rest and to smash the Londoners’ defense. The guests may fail to win the away game but they will certainly not lose it.
We bet on Man. City’s gaining point(s) (X2) at 1.28.
