- Chelsea Vs Manchester City Prediction
Chelsea will be trying to put up a fight against a good team in Manchester City and this will be a big game. Both teams have been in great form this season and we will see which team is the better.
Erling Haaland should start
There is a very strong chance that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will be fit to play against Chelsea on Wednesday. The striker has been struggling with a foot injury and has already missed two Premier League matches.
The 27-year-old was taken off at half-time of the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, and is still not 100%. Guardiola says the damage is not perfect, but the ligaments are not broken. He has said that Haaland is feeling better and will start training soon.
It is uncertain whether or not Haaland will start against Chelsea. During the week, Manchester City beat Leicester 1-0, and then won a thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool in the League Cup round of 16. This was the third league match in a row they won without the striker.
However, Pep Guardiola has not named him in the squad for the game against Chelsea. Instead, he has chosen to rest him.
Haaland has scored eight times in the league this season. He scored a hat-trick against West Ham in his first game in the Premier League, and then netted a brace against Crystal Palace.
Man City have been fantastic this season
Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to London to take on the league leaders Chelsea. A win could see them move within striking distance of Liverpool.
This match will be the first in a tricky run of games, which will include trips to Everton and Liverpool. Man City will be seeking revenge after their Champions League exit. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be trying to get back on track following their defeat by Arsenal on Sunday.
In the past, Man City have beaten Chelsea in both matches in the league, as well as the EFL cup. This has given Pep Guardiola's team the chance to start the season with a bang.
The first half of the match was fairly tame, but in the second, Man City took control of the proceedings. The City-Chelsea rivalry has been a bloody one over the years.
Pep Guardiola has been the mastermind behind City's success since taking over in 2017. However, his teams have had some ups and downs this season. They were also thrashed by Real Madrid in May. Nevertheless, City managed to notch a fourth title in five seasons, thanks to a series of fine performances.
Team news
Chelsea and Manchester City will meet on Saturday evening. Both teams have not won a domestic match in nearly three months. They will hope to get back on the winning track at Stamford Bridge. It is the penultimate game before the six-week World Cup break.
Manchester City have not lost a game in their last five, but the side will be without Joao Cancelo for this game. He is suspended, while the manager has been without Kyle Walker, who has been injured for the past month. Several players are also in doubt.
Chelsea have been hit by a number of injuries. Jorginho is out with a foot injury and N'Golo Kante is out with a hamstring problem. Other key players, such as Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, and Carney Chukwuemeka, are also out.
Despite the injuries, there are a few positives. Phil Foden is back in contention to start against Chelsea. He played 90 minutes against Wycombe in midweek. And Jack Grealish is set to play in wide roles.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have managed to keep their rivals in check in recent matches. Their defense is one of the strongest in the league and they have not conceded a goal in the last three games. In addition, Chelsea have won three of the last four head-to-head meetings against Man City.
