Read up on this entertaining game in the Premier League. Chelsea is in the 1st position after completing five matches. They greet Manchester City who are placed 5th after five fixtures.
- Chelsea have the most scored goals in the first half (6) in Premier League
- Manchester City have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
It's no vacation for neither Chelsea nor Manchester City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Chelsea form and stats
As mentioned below, Chelsea are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Chelsea, as their goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga Revuelta has completely shut out the opponents for 225 minutes in the Premier League.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. Reece James, defender, was given a rating of 8.52/10 in that game, top of the team. James served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 11 duels.
In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Tottenham Hotspur.This is expected to be a close game, with Chelsea perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Chelsea as a small favourite), we find four games. Chelsea has won three of these, drawn one and lost zero.
The manager T. Tuchel will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventus in only four days.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea has the goal stats of 6-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Manchester City form and stats
Things could have gone better for Manchester City in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
City have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes. It's been 395 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.
City are travelling after their nice 6-1 home win in the Carabao Cup against Wycombe Wanderers. As mentioned above, Manchester City was the only team on the pitch versus Wycombe Wanderers in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task. Phil Foden got a match rating of 10.0 in that game, top player of the team. Foden scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit seven key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 61 successful passes (of 69 total).
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Southampton in the Premier League.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the City manager J. Guardiola i Sala as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Paris Saint Germain.
It's early days yet, but Manchester City has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Stats for the former ten meetings between these two participants are: five wins for Chelsea, one draw and four wins for Manchester City. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
