The treble winners have kicked into gear big time in recent weeks and there is surely not a more feared side across Europe than this City team in full flow. Chelsea meanwhile are light years away from that level, languishing in 10 th place in the Premier League. It was just three years ago when a Thomas Tuchel-led Chelsea side beat City in the Champions League final, but those days must feel like ancient history to Chelsea fans right now.

A last-minute winner was needed to squeak past a Crystal Palace side missing possibly their three best players, and though Chelsea did manage an impressive win away to Villa last week, their other recent results have been uninspiring.

The last time these two sides met it was a barnburner, finishing at the Bridge. You can learn more about how to use our Stats Pack by checking out our Stats Pack Guide here.

Bernardo Silva is expected to be fit however, meaning he can slot in on the right wing, with Julian Alvarez likely to return to the midfield, pushing Phil Foden out to the left. Nathan Ake is likely to retain his spot at left-back with Gvardiol still sidelined. Cole Palmer has been leading the Chelsea line as a false nine in recent weeks, but the gradual return of Christopher Nkunku should allow Palmer back into his preferred right-wing role, with the Frenchman expected to make a third Premier League start here.

That will see Noni Madueke drop to the bench, whilst in defence, Levi Colwill will likely be back in at centre-back to partner Axel Disasi instead of Thiago Silva who is out with a groin injury.

Chelsea also concede a fair few corners, giving away 4. Backing City to have over 5. The Blues top the Premier League in yellow cards, their 3. Only Chelsea and Sheffield United average more than three cards per game, and they are likely to add to their tally today against a City side that has seen their opponents booked the third-most times of any Premier League side this season, at 2.

Chelsea have seen three or more bookings in five of their last seven league games, whilst the last time these sides met Chelsea saw five bookings dished out.

Backing them to pick up three bookings here at 1. Rodri has now had at least one shot in his last 13 straight Premier League games and has had two shots in six of his last He can be backed to have two or more shots here at 1.

However, where the value really shines through is in shots on target. Rodri has had at least one shot on target in four of his last five league starts and scored with his shot on target in the draw between these two sides earlier in the season.

He can be backed to have another shot on target here at 1. Cole Palmer has now had a shot on target in seven of his last eight Chelsea starts, taking at least two shots in seven of these games, and having four shots on four separate occasions. If the opportunity presents itself to shoot, Palmer will not hesitate to pull the trigger, and he is accurate more often than not.
