Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last seven league games, and have only dropped points in one of their home games so far this season. The Citizens head into Sunday's match on the back of six wins and a draw from their last seven outings in the Premier League, and have scored at least three goals in five of those matches. Pep Guardiola's side have also kept four clean sheets in their last five attempts and look strong defensively.

The Citizens have an excellent recent record against their West London guests, not losing against Chelsea since 2021. Manchester City have won nine of their last 11 games against Chelsea in league and cup, which includes the domestic double against Maresca's men last season.

Chelsea head to Manchester in the midst of their worst run of form in the Premier League so far this season, winning just one of their last seven matches. The Londoners haven't won any of their last three away games and have only managed to keep two clean sheets in their last seven attempts. We can only see one winner on Sunday and have backed Manchester City to secure a comfortable three points in their own backyard.

Manchester City 3-0 Chelsea

Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview & Prediction

The pressure is starting to build on Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca following a run of one win from the last seven Premier League games, and now the Londoners face a tough trip to the Etihad Stadium to face an in-form Manchester City side. Pep Guardiola's men have six of their last seven outings in the league, but were held to a surprise goalless draw last time out at newly-promoted Sunderland. The Citizens haven't lost against Chelsea since 2021, picking up nine wins from the pair's last 11 encounters across all competitions.
