Preview and betting tips for – Manchester City vs Chelsea – 16.08.2015
The most exciting duel of the second round in Premier League will take place Sunday afternoon from 16:00 at Etihad Stadium, putting face to face Manchester City and Chelsea, the best teams in the league last campaign.
Manchester City finished second in the previous edition of Premier League and they are coming after an unimpressive summer, with three wins, a draw and two defeats. Anyway, they had a good start in the league, getting three points last Monday against West Brom, 3-0 away. The hosts will be without Delph and Clichy, both players being injured.
Chelsea are coming here with only a missing player, Thibaut Courtois, suspended so Begovic will surely start this duel. The Blues did not impress us in the summer friendlies and they have also lost the FA Community Shield, 0-1 vs Arsenal. More than that, Mourinho’s team started with a draw the new season in Premier League, 2-2 vs Swansea City last weekend at Stamford Bridge so they need three points here to remain close to top positions.
Man City vs Chelsea probable lineups:
Man City (4-2-3-1): Hart – Sagna, Mangala, Kompany, Kolarov – Toure, Fernandinho – Navas, Silva, Sterling – Aguero.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Begovic – Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azipilicueta – Ramires, Matic – Willian, Fabregas – Hazard, Costa.
Man City vs Chelsea prediction: Under 3.0 goals AH @ 1.44
We expect a tight game between two very good teams in the defense. The last four meetings ended with maximum two goals and the last time when we saw an over 3,5 goals between City and Chelsea in a competitive games was August 2012, a little more than three years ago.
