According to former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton, “Man City will defeat Chelsea 3-0 in the semi-final of the Emirate FA Cup on Saturday.” Pep Guardiola’s team is determined to retain the title they won last season against Manchester United and are expected to advance to the final by defeating Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Manchester City suffered a midweek defeat against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, leading to their elimination. On the other hand, Chelsea delivered an exceptional performance against Everton, winning 6-0 with former City player Cole Palmer scoring four goals.
With City eager to return to winning form and Chelsea looking to secure a victory after recent setbacks, the match is set to be a thrilling encounter. Chris Sutton predicts a City victory and Chelsea going trophy-less this season.
Describing Chelsea’s recent form, Sutton mentioned, “Chelsea have shown a bit more consistency in the second half of the season with an eight-game unbeaten run in the league that has put them in the race for sixth place.”
Despite Chelsea remaining unbeaten against Manchester City this season in their initial encounters, Sutton is confident that City will emerge victorious with a 3-0 scoreline on Saturday.
Sutton stated, “Pochettino will want a trophy to underline their improvement, but I think it will be City who progress. I am backing the holders to flex their muscles again, go again… and win this tie quite comfortably.”
