Manchester City vs Chelsea preview
The Citizens will enter their most important week of the season. The current Premier League titleholders will have the chance to advance to the Champions League final if they defeat Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium and could win the Premier League trophy, depending on Arsenal’s results.
City, who will play the FA Cup final against neighbors Manchester United in June, are currently leading the standings with 82 points, one more than Arsenal, although Guardiola’s side has one game in hand. A win against Chelsea could earn the hosts another domestic title or, at least, take them very close to it.
While there will be a lot at stake for City in the next seven days, Chelsea travel to Manchester with no pressure, as the team is in mid-table and go into the game with nothing to lose.
The Blues are sitting 11th in the table after one of their worst performances in the EPL in recent times, recording 11 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses.
