Where To Watch, Predicted XI And Betting Odds

Man City is aiming for a 12-game winning streak as they face Chelsea at the Etihad this weekend. The reigning champions could potentially drop to 3rd place in the standings, so securing a win is crucial to keep their title hopes alive.

Manager Pep Guardiola may have to navigate the match without four key players. Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva are both doubtful due to knee and ankle injuries, respectively. Jack Grealish is expected to miss the game with a groin injury, while Josko Gvardiol is sidelined until March with ankle ligament damage.

The predicted starting lineup for Manchester City includes Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Foden, Haaland, and Doku. On the other hand, Chelsea’s Mauricio Pochettino is dealing with a lengthy injury list, although Malo Gusto is expected to feature despite concerns after the Crystal Palace game. However, Thiago Silva, Robert Sanchez, Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu, Marc Cucurella, and Wesley Fofana are all unavailable.

Chelsea’s predicted lineup is Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell, Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher, Palmer, Jackson, and Nkunku.

The game will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR, with a kick-off at 5:30 pm on Saturday. In terms of betting odds, Manchester City are the favorites to win, with Coral pricing them at 4/11 odds-on. A draw is 19/4 with Unibet, while a victory for Chelsea is currently 15/2 at Sky Bet.
