SSN BET - Match of the Day: Manchester City - Chelsea / 10.02.2019
Hello! Today in England there will be a central match of the tour, in which Man City will try not to let Liverpool go far, and Chelsea will try to return to the Top 4.
MANCHESTER CITY
The victory over Everton this mid-weekend allowed Manchester City to briefly regain the lead. However, the meeting with Everton was postponed from February 24, when the MC will meet in the EFL Cup final with Chelsea. After yesterday's Liverpool match, everything returned to its place, however, in order not to let Jurgen Klopp's team go far, the citizens in any case need to win. Given that in the last seven matches of the Premier League, the Guardiola team won six times, she is good at it. The “Citizens” defeated Southampton (3-1), in fact, Liverpool (2-1), Wolverhampton (3-0), Huddersfield (3-0), Arsenal (3-1) and Everton (2-0), and lost only Newcastle (1-2). Of the top clubs, the Guardiola team for the entire current championship only beat Chelsea (2-0). With all the rest "citizens" were able to figure it out. MC is now injured by Vincent Kompani, and Benjamin Mendy is already undergoing rehabilitation.
CHELSEA
In the meantime, Chelsea cannot be lost either. After yesterday's victory over Fulham, Manchester United beat Maurizio Sarri’s team in the table. "Pensioners" and so already kept in the balance from the departure of the four. Arsenal also won their match yesterday and caught up with Chelsea by the number of points, now both clubs have 50 points each. In the previous five Premier League bouts, Chelsea won twice, beating Newcastle (2-1) and defeating Huddersfield (5-0). In the remaining matches, “boys in blue” lost to Arsenal (0-2), suffered a major fiasco from Bournemouth (0-4) and broke up with Southampton (0-0). Fortunately, Surry, he has no injured. Only reserve Emerson Palmeri, Gary Cahill and Callum Hudson-Odoi are questionable at the meeting. Also, in a duel with the “terriers”, Gonzalo Higuain noted the first goals in the Premier League, which now has to become a new striking force of the “pensioners”.
