England Premier League
Saturday 23rd November 2019
Kick off at 5:30pm GMT
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Match Preview:
A massive game will take place in the early evening of Saturday when champions Manchester City take on Chelsea.
City find themselves under a ton of pressure after losing to Liverpool by 3-1 before the international break and are now 9 points behind them. By the time this game kicks off they could be 12 points. Even getting a draw here will be useless to them and to an extent Chelsea also.
What hunger and desire do City have? They have lost 3 games already this season and find themselves in 4th place. Although they are just a point behind Leicester and Chelsea. From 18 points at home City have picked up 13 and whilst that would be great for most teams it is hurting them because of the consistency of Liverpool. Make no mistake City are still a brilliant side but there has to be question marks over the club this season.
Chelsea are the most in-form side in the league and have won an incredible 6 matches in a row. Frank Lampard is proving the doubters wrong with a perfect mix of young and old players and those young ones are especially good.
The Blues could go 2nd if Leicester slip up earlier in the day against Brighton and go 4 points clear of their hosts. This is a massive game for Chelsea no doubt. The club are looking very dangerous and have won their last 5 games away from home and with 18 goals they have the best record in that department.
Team News:
Manchester City: Bernardo Silva is suspended for 1 game for breaching FA rules. He is the only new absentee from the side
