Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Manchester City - Chelsea!
- Manchester City have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither City nor Chelsea 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 are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City, who have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League, have performed here at Etihad Stadium this season with 12 wins from 17 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 3.

Chelsea form and stats
9 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Chelsea playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Chelsea are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Chelsea have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. It's been 297 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.
Impressive finishing from Mason Mount and Timo Werner secured the home win 2-0 against Real Madrid in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Fulham.

After this away game Chelsea return home for a Premier League game against Arsenal. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chelsea have scored 24 goals in 17 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (15 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
