What to expect from this match?

Manchester City are unstoppable at the moment and are the favorites for the title this season. However, given Chelsea's current form with eight wins in a row, they are not to be underestimated. That said, City just looks that better at the moment, even though they are struggling with injuries. I expect Mourinho to focus on the defends in this match, which the predicted starting line up also suggests. One thing is for sure; Azpilicueta and Ivanovic will have their troubles with Navas and Silva. I expect City to win this match, but not with more than one goal.

What are the odds?

Unibet gives back a 13/14 for a Manchester City win, while a draw gives 11/4 at Totesport. If you have Chelsea as favorites BetVictor offers 15/4 for a win to the Londoners.
