Match Preview
Man City are clicking into gear at this stage of the Premier League season after winning each of their last six in the competition. The reigning champions currently sit second in the standings, but they are just two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. City kept their nerve last weekend to record a 2-0 home win over Everton.
Chelsea’s inconsistent season has continued throughout 2024, and it looks incredibly unlikely that they will be finishing in a European spot this term. The Blues did end a two-game losing sequence in their previous match, as they produced a late showing to register a 3-1 away victory against Crystal Palace.

City’s transformation in form is hard to ignore, winning each of their last six matches. That form comes after winning just one of their six matches before that period. Four of the victories that they have recorded have come in 2024, and they will be looking to win each of their opening five matches to start a new calendar year for the first time since 2021.
Chelsea’s record in this fixture is a huge concern ahead of this match, as the Blues have won just twice in their last eight visits to the Etihad. Over the same period, City have recorded six victories. Meanwhile, the Blues have managed to record just one clean sheet in their last 19 meetings with City, with that coming in a 2-0 home win in December 2018.
Man City vs Chelsea Prediction
This could be a tighter fixture than the odds suggest, as the sides played out a thrilling 4-4 draw earlier in the campaign. However, we fully expect City to claim maximum points, and that could be achieved by a 2-0 scoreline.
