PredictionChelsea 1–3 Man City

Why This Match Matters

Man City sit six points behind league leaders Arsenal but hold two games in hand — including Sunday’s visit to west London — and arrive with enormous momentum after recent cup victories over Arsenal and Liverpool.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are battling for a top-five finish and Champions League qualification, but have lost four of their last five Premier League games Sports Illustrated, making this a must-not-lose situation at home.

Head-to-Head & Form

The Blues have been beaten by City in four of the last five meetings at Stamford Bridge — the other ending in a wild 4–4 draw — and haven’t beaten City in the Premier League since May 2021. Sports Illustrated

Match Prediction

Rayan Cherki is in scintillating form, Antoine Semenyo continues to impress, and Erling Haaland’s hat-trick against Liverpool in the FA Cup looks set to reignite the Norwegian’s momentum for the title run-in. Sports Illustrated With Chelsea’s defence so depleted, City look dangerous all over the pitch.
