Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips



Manchester City’s strong six-game unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end with a 4-2 loss to PSG in the Champions League, despite leading by two goals in the second half. This defeat puts City in danger of failing to qualify for the knockout stages, as they need a win against Club Brugge in their final group match. With nine blown leads in all competitions this season, City faces a tough run of Premier League matches against top teams, which could determine their top-four finish.

Chelsea, on the other hand, has regained form with two wins and a draw in their last three matches, climbing into the top four in the Premier League. However, they have struggled against Manchester City recently, failing to win any of their last 10 meetings. Heading into their match at the Etihad, Chelsea also has a poor record in away games against City, having kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 encounters at the Etihad.

Starting XI
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Bernardo; Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Dewsbury-Hall, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Chelsea
