Form Guide
Chelsea
LLLLW
Liam Rosenior's Chelsea despite seeing a surreal start under the young gaffer has seen their form take a seemingly difficult nosedive. A run which has seen them knocked out of this campaign’s UEFA Champions League by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain. Having lost each of their four games before the last international break, the sign have returned to competitive action by putting seven unreplied goals past Port Vale in the FA Cup. Their most recent league outing was a 3-0 defeat to Everton, a result that raised questions about Rosenior's defensive organisation.
Manchester City
LDLWW
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are second in the league, nine points behind Arsenal but with a game in hand. Despite a rather difficult campaign in terms of performances, the Cityzens have already secured silverware by defeating Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the Carabao Cup Final. The visitors’ still have their hat in the other domestic cup after defeating Liverpool four-nil over the last round of the FA Cup. Their 60 goals scored thus far this campaign pits them as the second best offensive unit.

With City's attacking potency and Chelsea's own ability to score, a goal return could be anticipated at both ends.
