Frank Lampard’s men travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and our tipster is backing an open game when they take on Pep Guardiola’s side
Manchester City face Chelsea in a crucial Premier League clash on Saturday with both sides looking to close the gap on leaders Liverpool.
The hosts are nine points behind Jurgen Klopp’s men whilst Saturday’s visitors are eight points back, meaning this clash could prove pivotal in the race for the title.
bet365 make Pep Guardiola’s side just 4/9 (1.44) to claim the points but using their Bet Builder tool – which allows punters to combine multiple selections into a single bet – our tipster has put together a 17/2 (9.50) shot.
Goals look extremely likely in this one, with both attacks firing on all cylinders but both defences also struggling for any type of consistency.
Man City are the highest scorers in the division with an astonishing 35 goals to their name after only 12 games, including 19 at home, which is also the most in the league.
Chelsea’s 27 strikes are the fourth most in the Premier League and they are on an exceptional run away from home, winning each of their last five and scoring 18 times in the process – the most away goals in the top-flight.
These trends look likely to continue here considering City have managed just one clean sheet in their last five home games in all competitions, whilst Chelsea have not kept an away clean sheet in the league all season.
In terms of corners, City are averaging almost 11 per match at the Etihad Stadium, and whilst they have only given up 15 at home this season in total, Chelsea will hope to break that trend.
Frank Lampard’s men have taken six in each of their last two away games and could continue that run here, especially considering that City recently gave up seven corners to Aston Villa and six to Atalanta.
Finally, both these sides have reasonable discipline. Chelsea average just two yellow cards per away game and although City average 2.50 per home game, recent fixtures between these sides have not been ill-tempered.
Indeed, just one of the last six meetings in all competitions did not feature under four cards and the corresponding fixture last term saw three dished out.
Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
