In the week’s leading up to our free Chelsea vs Manchester City betting tips, Pep Guardiola’s Citizens have been blowing teams away, playing a mesmerizing brand of flowing football in the process. They have scored an almost unbelievable twenty-two goals in their last five fixtures. That same fixture list has been kind to the Sky Blues, however, and the only team they have played of note in the Premier League has been Liverpool, while their opponents have already faced Spurs and Arsenal. The Citizens offer goal threats from numerous different angles – Leroy Sane already has three goals, Gabriel Jesus has four goals, Raheem Sterling already has five goals and Sergio Aguero has collected six.

While Guardiola has deservedly enjoyed the plaudits lately for his team’s rip-roaring displays, his tactical inflexibility and lack of pragmatism can sometimes cost him wins in big matches. His refusal to adapt his tactics to more difficult opposition plays a major part in our football predictions today. Antonio Conte is almost entirely the opposite in terms of how he sets up his teams. The Italian’s set-up is perfectly structured to exploit the overzealous attacking of City, that’s why we are tipping a home win in our Chelsea vs Manchester City predictions. Last season, Guardiola saw his team lose at Tottenham, Leicester, Liverpool, Everton, and Chelsea primarily because he didn’t adjust his heavily attack-minded team against trickier opponents. We recommend using Bet-at-home to back our outright prediction here. They have an amazing range of odds and offers for the game.
