Haaland shows his class

At the Etihad Stadium, Man City welcomes Chelsea in the most notable match of round 25 of the Premier League. Despite their poor form and lack of consistency, Chelsea is still a formidable opponent for Man City. They will even have to be careful against Chelsea's unpredictable counter-attacks.

Man City vs Chelsea Prediction

Chelsea suffered many losses in terms of personnel and this is also part of the reason why the London team has never met the expectations of fans this season.

Ahead of the trip to Man City, Chelsea have suffered injuries to Thiago Silva, Carney Chukwuemeka, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu.

Among them, Cucurella and James greatly influence Chelsea's ability to develop the ball from the home field and support the attack. This duo is the best quality pair of full-backs that coach Pochettino has at his disposal.

When the stars are not on the field, the coach must consider young players like Levi Colwill or Gusto. Abundant physical resources will help young players overcome the situation when making mistakes.

In addition, coach Pochettino needs to carefully consider the decision with Cole Palmer. This young player is not very comfortable when playing as a target man. He is more suitable as a midfielder with a free style of play and moving wide to find the ball. Nkunku and Jackson are two potential options for the striker position.

On the other side of the front line, Man City has no reason to worry before the match with Chelsea. They are still in great form, especially when the duo Kevin de Bruyne - Erling Haaland returned from injury. When this duo plays at their best, Man City can beat many opponents in Europe.

However, coach Pep Guardiola still has many ways to optimize the performance of Haaland and De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder assisting and Haaland scoring is the scenario that many fans talk about every week.

Prediction: Man City 3-1 Chelsea

Man City vs Chelsea form

Man City have shown "destructive" form by winning all 6 recent matches in the Premier League. They have become even more dangerous with the appearance of Kevin de Bruyne after injury.

Chelsea drew 1, won 3 and lost 2 in the last 6 matches, this is not a bad form but it cannot be said that Chelsea has improved.

Expected lineup:

Manchester City: Ederson Morales; Walker, Dias, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Phil Foden; Haaland

Chelsea: Robert Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell; Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo; Palmer, Gallagher, Jackson; Nkunku.
