----------------------------------------------------------------
Chelsea are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Blues eased past Crystal Palace by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive in recent weeks. The home side eased past FC Copenhagen by a 3-1 scoreline in the UEFA Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea
Manchester City have come into their own in recent weeks and will be intent on giving Liverpool a run for their money in the title race. Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden found the back of the net against FC Copenhagen and will look to add to their goal tallies this weekend. Chelsea have struggled this season and are in desperate need of a good run of results. Manchester City are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
