Man City, Chelsea clash in hot EPL action at Etihad Stadium
JustBet offers Chelsea at odds of $6.00 to beat Man City
The Premier League’s top two sides will be in action Saturday and faces tricky opponent as they look to continue their battle for the league title. Firstly, leaders Liverpool travel to Brentford in the early kick off, then later in the day, Manchester City will host the unpredictable Chelsea in this weekend’s marquee matchup.
Event # 1 – EPL – Brentford vs Liverpool – 7:30 AM
Brentford enter this match off the back of an impressive 2-0 win over Wolves in their last match and will be confident of stopping the league leaders in their track, as the return of star striker Ivan Toney from a betting violation suspension has seen an upturn in Brentford’s form recently. However, seven defeats in their last 10 matches doesn’t make for good reading when the free-scoring Liverpool pulls up in town. More worryingly for the ‘bees’, Brentford, is the fact that they have conceded 23 goals on home turf so far this season, which is one of the worst in the league, and they could be in trouble if Liverpool’s Diego Jota and his strike partners bring their shooting boots tomorrow.
Liverpool, on the other hand, returned to winning ways against Burnley last week as they won 3-1, bouncing back from their 3-1 loss to title chasers Arsenal in their previous match. That win made it eight from their last 10 matches, while it was the fifth away game in a row that they have scored three or more goals. Indeed, Liverpool have won four of their last five matches on the road and will be aiming to maintain their impressive run, with defending champions Manchester City hot on their heels entering the home stretch for the League title. Liverpool beat Brentford 3-0 at Anfield when they met earlier in the season and with just a 2-point lead over Manchester City, Liverpool will see this as an opportunity to build some pressure on City who will host the unpredictable Chelsea a few hours after their game.
Key Stats
● Brentford – Brentford have won just three of their 13 home matches so far this season. Indeed, Brentford have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 10 home matches.
● Liverpool – Liverpool have won three of their last five Premier League matches against Brentford and have won four of their last five league games while scoring at least three goals in each of those games.
● Both sides – Liverpool have won 12 of their last 20 matches against Brentford, with the Bees winning four. Interestingly, the home side has never lost a game between Brentford and Liverpool in the League, Brentford won this exact fixture 3-1 last season.
The betting Tip. Liverpool win.
Event # 2 EPL – Manchester City vs Chelsea – 12:30 PM
Manchester City will be aiming to win their 12th-straight match in all competitions when they welcome the inconsistent Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Man City enter this game in good spirits following their 3-1 away win against Copenhagen in Champions League action on Tuesday. Indeed, City currently sit second in the league, two points behind Liverpool, and level on points with Arsenal in third, but notably have a game in hand on both sides, which makes them favourites to go on and win an unprecedented fourth-straight Premier League title, and their sixth in seven seasons. With that said, if Liverpool fails to beat Brentford away and City has a victory over Chelsea, City will return to the top of the table. Ahead of this vital game, Man City have won their last five games on the trot and have won their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continues to be inconsistent in this campaign, following four-goal defeats at the hands of Liverpool and Wolves; however, they scored three goals themselves in wins over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Indeed, Chelsea face a tough, if not daunting, trip to the Etihad to take on the rampant Manchester City as they had lost five of their last six away matches before the win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. With that said, Chelsea have shown that they can score goals, but they struggle to keep clean sheets, which means they will have a difficult time keeping the rampant Manchester City attack quiet for 90 minutes. More worryingly, is the fact that Chelsea have not beaten Manchester City since they did so in the 2021 Champions League final.
Key Stats
●Man City – Manchester City have won their last four games against Chelsea and have won their last 11 matches in all competitions.
• Chelsea – Chelsea are winless against Man City since beating them in the 2021 Champions League final. Worryingly for Chelsea is the fact that have conceded four goals on four separate occasions in the league this season and now face the league’s best attack in the form of Man City.
• Both sides – Both teams played out an epic and exciting 4-4 draw when they met at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture. Since beating Manchester City in 2021, Chelsea have travelled to the Etihad and have lost on every occasion.
The betting Tip. Man City win.
