Chelsea vs Man City

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Lavia, Caicedo, Enzo (C), Palmer, Jackson, Nkunku.

Man City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, De Bruyne (C), Silva, Doku, Savinho, Haaland.

Man City are here to take their first match against Chelsea that have win in their last the meeting with Man City, Man City secured 8 wins and two draw against Chelsea, my question is can Chelsea beat their chest to stop all this embarrassment they had faced in the past against Man City?

Chelsea 0 - 1 Manchester City since the first 18 minutes of the game. The goal was scored by Erling Haaland and until now it is City which are threatening to score additional goals even though dominance is shared between the two clubs.
So far Brighton is the leader in this first round and I don't think Manchester City will overtake them.

Arsenal is a club that I am not always confident about,

For me it’s the other way around: I’m confident in Arsenal, I’m confident that this season Arsenal won’t win the cup again and will remain in 2nd place.

and I don’t always expect anything from Arsenal every season, even if they are leading on the table.

I don't expect anything from this team anymore because I am disappointed in them. I would like Arsenal to win the cup, but being at the top of the table doesn't mean that this team has the stamina to win the cup.

This is another season, and I will say Arsenal fans shouldn’t just raise their hopes this season because the season is just starting.

Arsenal's end of the season is traditionally worse than the beginning.

Arsenal played well last season, and I supported people who were saying Arsenal would win the league last season to some extent, but at the end, Manchester City took over the first position from them.

That's what I'm talking about, that towards the end of the season Arsenal are losing energy to bring the season to a trophy win.

 
Arsenal really has a perfect squad.

If the line-up had been perfect, the cup would have been in their hands.

 
I just hope this season will be different from previous seasons and they will be able to win at least one trophy this season, and I know the trophy Arsenal will want to win is the Premier League.

I too hope that Arsenal can break the 2nd-place curse, but I doubt they will.

This favorable start helps Arsenal confidently enter the Premier League championship race, after two seasons of finishing second. This season, Arsenal is predicted to be Man City's biggest rival in the championship race.

For the past two seasons, both Manchester City and Arsenal have been the once’s that have been dragging for the premier league champion. Even though Manchester City are the once’s that are always winning it, we are already in another season, and Arsenal's first match is really a good start for them, even though Manchester City haven’t played yet, but they should be able to get their 3 points also. Another team that I think will perform well this season, and we shouldn’t underestimate them is Liverpool. From my observation, Liverpool's performance might end up surprising most people.

A good start from Arsenal. Chelsea will face Manchester City in the big match that will start in a few hours. Chelsea wants to start the year very well since it is at home and they want to beat Manchester City. It will not be easy, they know that too, but there will be a battle of moves with the new players and the new manager. We will watch a tactical battle between Enzo and Guardiola. Let's see who will win. Frankly, I want Chelsea to win.

Though Chelsea at home is always a difficult game. City's has been firing on all cylinders lately, and Guardiola's had them operating like a well-oiled machine. They ruled the pre-season, took home the Community Shield, and even defeated Chelsea 4-2 in a friendly. Thats not just chance, folks. Haaland is in great form; City's depth and tactical adaptability make them a force to be reckoned with. Chelsea is still adjusting under Maresca; although they will fight valiantly, it will be an uphill struggle against a team like City right now.

Thus, yes, I am inclined towards a City victory. Guardiola's team is ravenous and he has the tactical edge. City has the momentum, hence it wont be a stroll in the park; they wont be readily stopped either.

As long as they've got Nicolas Jackson as their striker, Chelsea will lose. It's not a matter of it being at Stamford bridge or not, Chelsea have not got a good finisher to help put in most of the midfielders passes. It will be a good game no doubt but I see Man City being more of the dominant side being as they want to away those draws that they settled for at the tail end of last season and begin a clean slate.

So far Brighton is the leader in this first round and I don't think Manchester City will overtake them.

It's only the first round, I think talking about the leaderboard is too early. Chelsea almost had a goal but Jackson was off side unfortunately. This match is entertaining so far.

A good start from gunners with shaky defenders and also mistakes from Thomas Partey. Was Declan Rice Injured when he was substituted from.the game yesterday? Well, shout out to the name David Raya as he able to hold down the fort for gunners yesterday. It's a new season and I'm impressed with him for the first game.
With Mikel Moreno coming in, Declan Rice would definitely be back to his best position which is defensive midfield.

Chelsea has done some good business so far I don't lie, but if you ask me, I don't think they have a competent first eleven, most importantly the defender's.

Manchester City has found it difficult to win Chelsea during last season though on both fixtures in the Premier League Competition, I wouldn't be boggled seeing that happening.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace is not a huge surprise as it was the homeground for Brentford and Crystal Palace did played well but didn't managed to score. Yoane Wissa individual was impressive from Brentford.
Chelsea vs Manchester City is the topic today. Manchester City are the league champions and Chelsea are at home. People might have expected some new approach from the new coach in Chelsea but Manchester City is overpowering them. A goal from Haaland have made them lead 1-0 at the end of 1st half. There was a counter goal from Chelsea but VAR decided it was an offside. Not being able to control the ball or score on counter attack means a loosing start for Chelsea.

The match between Chelsea and Man City have generated many news with majority people saying that Chelsea did not stand a chance against the Cities. The first half result have actually confirmed what people are saying and now Chelsea have to fight for a draw from this one goal lead by the Cities. From the play so far, Chelsea have not done badly as they have made several attempts on goal including the goal scored by Jackson that was disallowed because of offside position. If Chelsea continue the way they are going, they might equalize the goal provided they did not concede another goal which will confirm Man City win of the match.

[Tmoonz]

Indeed it is first half of the game between Chelsea and Manchester City and Manchester City did what they knew how to do best by 1 goes to zero at the first half of the game thou it wasn't easy for the both clubs Chelsea are doing their best while Manchester City had the opportunity and utilized it, indeed it is a hot game for both teams and seeing how Chelsea are struggling the game might probably end a draw game or Manchester City win the game, what are your analysis? However, if Chelsea happens to lose today game they will train more harder to win their next game considering the fact that other big top five clubs in England has recorded winning.

So far Chelsea have played so well, controlling the game more than I expected. But as you have rightly observed that Nicolas Jackson will be wastefull in the match, that's exactly what is happening. Jackson has so far missed some good scoring opportunities and it is not going to help them that much. When you are playing against Manchester City you have to convert every single opportunity that comes your way, because you are not guarantee of many. Another thing is that Enzo Fernandez is going down too easily in Manchester City box, it looks like he is looking for penalty. Because of this he is missing some good scoring opportunities too. If Halland had gone down that easily he wouldn't have scored the opening goal. Chelsea have to rise to the occasion in the second half and be more clinical with their finishes. Jackson should be drop as soon as the second half starts if not they won't score in this game.

[Docnaster]

After an additional five minutes, Anthony Tailor just signalled the end of the first half with his whistle in the English Premier League game between Chelsea vs Manchester City. I watched the game from the first minute till the very end and if you ask me, I'll say it's been an impressive performance by Chelsea and a little improvement from their display of last season despite trailing 1:0 to Manchester City. They've created so many chances but have failed to convert any of these chances. Manchester City only clear chance of the game was the one that led to their goal. If you ask me, I think Chelsea will come back in the game and maybe find an equalizer.

It is not yet over until 90mins. Manchester city should be able to win Chelsea but if they don't take the second half serious then Chelsea will have the opportunity of equalizing the goal. What Chelsea need is a good number 9 to always finish the ball so that him and Palmer can work hand in hand to score goals for Chelsea.

That is just the only problem that Chelsea has in the first half because their striker is not sharp and smart enough. It was a good performance from both teams and an interesting first half.

[Issa56]

Chelsea 0 - 1 Manchester City since the first 18 minutes of the game. The goal was scored by Erling Haaland and until now it is City which are threatening to score additional goals even though dominance is shared between the two clubs.

The first half of the match has ended, and Manchester City are ahead of Chelsea with a goal difference. Seriously,  the match is just more interesting than I was thinking. I was expecting Manchester City to have scored more than 1 goal in the first half of the match, but with all the attempts that they had in the first half of the match, they could only score just 1 goal. Chelsea's performance wasn’t so bad in the first half of the match, even as they were finding it difficult to penetrate Manchester City's defense, but they had a few chances as well.
 
The second half of the match has started. Let’s see if Manchester City will be able to increase or just maintain the 1 goal lead, or maybe Chelsea will be able to equalize in the second half of the match, but I know the second half will be an interesting one also.

I can't stop laughing at this Super Sunday game between ChelseavsMan City, like what in God's name is Jackson doing on that pitch? Is it not better for Chelsea to play with 10 men than having him (Jackson) running and making a mess of himself, even if the ball was an offside call he can't convert it, is a shame. Honestly the guy is not fit to be the striker of Chelsea and it pains me that Enzo Maresca knows all these things but always have him start this particular game. What happened to Broja? Bring him back to the senior team. At least he can do better than this runner Jackson.
Well, City are leading but they haven't found their feet like the way they have been playing this game is like they're still playing a friendly game and they're not ready. Chelsea need that midfield to be very strong to stop Man City from getting past them freely and if not for Sanchez the score line would have been 2-3 nil by now, but let's see what the new Chelsea boss will do to change the outcome of this game.

Sincerely speaking, Jackson doesn't deserve to wear Chelsea jersey talk more of playing as a forwarder. In this particular match, Enzo and Jackson should be responsible in case Chelsea lose the match. Both of them are very poor at finishing, Enzo seems to rely on penalties which doesn't always work out. I think he should switch with Nkuku because he is a good finisher than Enzo. As for Jackson, he should not start the second half to minimize the chances missed.

Chelsea at this stage is not supposed to be struggling in front of opponents goal post but what they have in their front line could barely control the ball let alone to convert it. It was this same issue last season that led to their downfall and the same is happening again. If they can not utilize their chances very well, they won't be anywhere better than last season.

H2H Leicester vs Spurs

Leicester vs Spurs 4 - 1
Spurs vs Leicester 6 - 2
Spurs vs Leicester 3 - 1
Spurs vs Leicester 3 - 1
Leicester vs Spurs 2 - 3
Leicester vs Spurs 2 - 4

From the H2H statistics we can see that at least Leicester is continuously able to provide resistance to Spurs and often scores 2 goals at home even though Spurs are still favored. But in my opinion there is nothing wrong with trying your luck to bet on Leicester's score over 1.5 with odds @3.
Another alternative option BTTS (Yes) is a good choice.

[Glen Hoddle]

Manchester City team is among the best teams this season, Chelsea team is very strong. Between these two teams I will give the most priority to Manchester City team, canon Manchester City team has the most experienced striker of the present time, Erning Haaland. He scores goals with any team, and Earning Haaland has been called a scoring machine. 

He is so aggressive and he wins the Manchester City team by being the attacking player alone, he is a very dynamic and hard working player. He has done the best performance in today's match. Miss a few attacks and more goals are more likely in this match, so since one goal has been scored in half time and more goals are definitely possible in the other half.

I don't agree with all you have said because Jackson is not as bad as you are presenting him to be. If there are people who have made attempt from the Chelsea side, he should be at the top of that. If he were that bad, the coach would have removed him but he is still very much in the game and other players are changed and not him. I think you are being biased about him maybe you are judging from previous performance and definitely not today's match.

Well, City are leading but they haven't found their feet like the way they have been playing this game is like they're still playing a friendly game and they're not ready. Chelsea need that midfield to be very strong to stop Man City from getting past them freely and if not for Sanchez the score line would have been 2-3 nil by now, but let's see what the new Chelsea boss will do to change the outcome of this game.

If you are following the second half, you will realize that Chelsea is mounting more pressure than they did in the first half. Check attempts and see how well they are doing and from the 60th minute, the ball have been on the Man City side.

[$crypto$]

So far Brighton is the leader in this first round and I don't think Manchester City will overtake them.

It's only the first round, I think talking about the leaderboard is too early. Chelsea almost had a goal but Jackson was off side unfortunately. This match is entertaining so far.

Yeah it's still early to talk about the standings because, obviously, the one who scores the most goals is at the top. Lol

The second half match is still fierce, Chelsea can still press the attack on the opponent even though several times failed to make a goal, I think in the second half it will be interesting, Jackson is danced out while Pedro Neto plays for the first time, who knows he scored a goal right?

I don't expect more from Chelsea who wants Man City to win, save the parlay bet.

It is finished as Kovacic has scored the second go for Manchester City with a beautiful shot on the 84th minutes to destroy Chelsea's hope of equalizing the first goal or thinking that they can draw the match. Chelsea struggled in the second half but there was no clear chance of them scoring any goal.

We all know that City will win this match but we thought that it will be a tough one for them but they were able to show their supremacy over Chelsea and made Chelsea players played as if they have no direction. Lewis the young lad was able to get his moment on the field as he played confidently in the midst of Chelsea's players.

Chelsea 0-2 M.City
