Chelsea vs. Manchester City 2023-24 Premier League Odds, Time, and Prediction

Manchester City is the reigning Premier League champion that’s currently sitting top of the EPL 2023-24 table. The Citizens got to the No. 1 spot in the previous gameweek thanks to their next opponent Chelsea.

The London Blues defeated Tottenham 4-1, a team that was at the summit of the EPL table before that game. Due to that loss, the Spurs dropped to the second spot.

Chelsea was able to beat the table leader in the previous round, can we see the Blues do the same once again? Judging by the Chelsea vs. Man City odds, it’s unlikely. Pep Guardiola’s boys are coming to the English capital as odds-on favorites.

Chelsea Players Love Big Games in 2023

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are 4-3-4 on the season with a big 4-1 win over Tottenham on the road in the previous round. However, there’s a caveat – the Spurs received two red cards in that game.

They were up 1-0 when their first player got sent off, and 1-1 when they received the second red. With nine men on the pitch, the Spurs just couldn’t do anything.

This, however, doesn’t mean Chelsea didn’t do well. In fact, these guys seem to always show up in big games. In the 2023-24 season, the Blues have already played against some real heavyweights, but they did well each time. For instance, they drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the Prem and defeated tricky Brighton in the EFL Cup. 

Is Manchester City Too Big for 2023 Chelsea

In the past, Chelsea vs. Man City duels were real thrillers in which each team had almost an equal chance of winning. In the post-Roman Abramovich era, Chelsea just doesn’t look as strong as before. And even before the Russian billionaire sold the club, the Blues struggled with the Cityzens.

We’re not saying this without proof. The Blues have lost each of the last six Chelsea vs. Manchester City meetings. In fact, the last time Chelsea defeated Man City was in the 2021 Champions League Final in Lisbon.

In 2023, Pep Guardiola’s men look great. They did have a couple of slips about a month ago but are 6-0-0 since. In their most recent game, they beat Young Boys 3-0 in the Champions League. In their most recent Premier League game, they demolished Bournemouth 6-1. And in their most recent away game, they beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City Prediction

The Chelsea Blues should consider themselves lucky for beating Tottenham in the previous EPL round. But lady luck can’t be on their side for two rounds in a row. Instead, Sunday’s Chelsea vs. Man City game will be decided by the sheer quality of the teams involved, meaning that it’s Pep Guardiola’s team that’s going to win. At least that’s our prediction.

Pick: Manchester City to win & over 2.5 goals
