A day before hosting Chelsea, Man City received good news when Arsenal lost to Nottingham. This result helped Pep Guardiola's team successfully defend their Premier League title. The match against Chelsea was now merely a formality.
At this point, Man City can fully concentrate on the two finals of the season in the FA Cup and the Champions League. Every Premier League match now is important to maintain the momentum for Erling Haaland and his teammates.
Man City won the Premier League title in the 2022/23 season.
Manager Pep Guardiola is likely to make several changes to the lineup to rest key players after a period of intense competition. However, the strength of the Etihad Stadium team is unlikely to diminish, as their reserve squad also includes high-quality players.
Chelsea currently have no objectives left for the season and are showing signs of giving up. Even the return of manager Frank Lampard cannot save the team from this season's chaos. In their last 10 matches, Chelsea have lost 7. In their last 5 encounters with Man City, Chelsea have all been defeated.
Chelsea are in poor form and also suffering from a depleted squad. Key players like Reece James, Mason Mount, Marc Cucurella, Ben Chilwell, and N'Golo Kante are unavailable due to injury. Meanwhile, the participation of Mateo Kovacic and Kalidou Koullibaly remains uncertain.
Playing away at the Etihad Stadium has never been an easy challenge, especially when Chelsea aren't in good form. Manchester City have won all 16 of their last home games. It's highly likely Chelsea will be part of Manchester City's championship celebration, serving as a backdrop for a resounding victory for Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates.
Predicted lineups for Man City vs Chelsea
Man City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte; Stones, Rodri; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland
Chelsea: Kepa; Chalobah, Silva, W. Fofana; Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Fernandez, Gallagher, Hall; Sterling, Havertz
Prediction: Man City 3-1 Chelsea
