A Must-Win Game for Manchester City

After a horrible run in the last couple of weeks of 2024, Manchester City are playing very well. They’re undefeated in the Premier League since December, with a 2-1-0 record in 2025. In their most recent Premier League game, they beat Ipswich 6:0.

If they can keep the momentum, they can easily get into the Champions League zone. In fact, if their winning run continues, they might even get to challenge for the title.

Sure, that doesn’t seem very plausible given that Liverpool have 12 points more and a game in hand. But the season is long, and anything can happen in the next couple of months.

They have the motivation, but do they have the player quality needed to beat Chelsea? The answer is yes, given that they’re without a loss to this opponent since 2021.

Chelsea’s Players Just Love Big Games

Chelsea are fourth in the standings, but they were even higher a few weeks ago. However, their recent form in the Prem hasn’t been great – they’re 1-2-2 in their last five games.

What’s interesting is that those two losses happened to Ipswich and Fulham. They also drew with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. They did, however, defeat Wolves in their most recent game.

What’s also interesting is that Chelsea have won against some real heavyweights this season. They defeated Tottenham, Newcastle, and many other tough opponents. They also drew with Arsenal.

The first time they played against Manchester City this season, however, they lost. It was 2:0 for the Cityzens in London in the first round of the 2024-25 EPL season.

Manchester City vs. Chelsea Prediction

Our prediction is that this is going to be a very exciting game as both teams have amazing players who are motivated to do great on Saturday. We do think that the hosts have better players, which is why our pick is Man City. What we’re even more certain of is that this game will see goals galore.
