Manchester City vs Chelsea Tips, Bet Builder & Latest Odds
We have got a cracker of a game to look forward to as we come to the end of the Christmas period. Chelsea must make the trip up to Manchester City to take on a team that are looking to keep pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
City have had a great December with six out of seven wins in all competitions. However, Chelsea have struggled to get much going which has resulted in manager Enzo Maresca no longer in charge.
Manchester City vs Chelsea Tips
Here are our top three betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash.
Tip 1: Manchester City to win & both teams to score
Manchester City have had a great December and will be looking to keep up with Arsenal by getting another win here. They won all six of their Premier League games last month and kept a clean sheet in four out of them six games.
Despite this form they struggled away to Sunderland on New Years Day and could only manage to draw 0-0. Although they have been looking good recently, they are known for the odd slip up.
Now they must take on a Chelsea side that have been going through a rough time over the last month. Over December they have had one win, three draws and two losses in the league.
With Maresca now not the manager it will fall to the under 21’s manager Callum McFarlane to take control of the first team. Despite the upheaval the team still has quality and should cause Manchester City problems.
Expect City to get the win but concede a goal in the process.
Tip 2: Tijjani Reijnders to score or assist
Tijjani Reijnders has had a bumpy start to his Premier League life at Manchester City. The Dutch midfielder had a great start but then spent some time out of the first eleven.
He has had 32 shots this season with 11 of them hitting the target. Reijnders has scored four goals this season and got two assists on top of that as well.
Although the numbers might not seem that impressive, he does seem to have hit form now. He has scored three goals in his last five Premier League games and, he got an assist in City’s League Cup quarter final.
Expect Reijnders to get involved in this game as well.
Tip 3: Enzo Fernandez 1+ shot on target, Moises Caicedo to be shown a card, Tijjani Reijnders to score or assist
Enzo Fernandez loves to have a shot from anywhere. He has had the most shots for Chelsea in the Premier League this season with 37. He has also had the most shots on target as well with 16. Expect him to get involved again in this game.
Moises Caicedo has seen a card in the last five games that he has played in and already served a one game suspension in the league. The Ecuadorian midfielder has also committed 26 fouls in the league this season as well as being fouled 25 times. He loves to get stuck in.
Finally add Tijjani Reijnders to score or assist. He has got some good recent form having scored three goals in the last five Premier League games.
