Predictions and match build up for Chelsea away. Thursday 8pm PL

[Stephen Paul]

A huge game coming up away to Chelsea this week with 3 points required to stay in touch with the gooners

[Stephen Paul]

3-0 City

[93:2012]

2  1 City

This is unlikely to be a high scoring game, with Pep making certain we control transitions.

So it will be a slow unpicking (creating space opportunities) of Chelsea's defence, as we move the ball back and forward and slow the attack until all players are in position. Not a criticism it has been immensely successful over the years. Hopefully, we will see a winger shake up, getting the wingers to attack the goal line wide occasionally and dribble at the defenders, to complement the current concentration on wingers inverting in attack and slowing down attack every-time. Taking the predictability out of our attackes.

I am expecting a bit of a reaction from city so i will go 3  1 win and a more positive display.

2-0 City

I'd drop Haaland and go back to the midfield swarm of the previous seasons.

As pretty as it is, I don't want our only trophy to be the golden boot.

City to win 3-1

[KunDB]

Big night coming up, i wonder will Julian start perhaps as a winger in place of jack (speculative but not impossible).

1  0  City win hard earned.

Spot on assessment & correct score.

Thought Chelsea would be up for this game. Delighted to get the three points as 1 0 wins count the same as bigger wins in terms of points.

was glad to see Sterling go of as he was a cert to score for them
