Manchester City would be looking for three points that would be enough to secure them a ninth Premier League title when they play host to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

The Cityzens go into this game full of confidence after their 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinals. In the league, Pep Guardiola's men are four points clear of Arsenal and have one game in hand, which means if Forest beat the Gunners on Saturday, City would be champions before their game on Sunday. However, given the form ManCity are in at the moment (eleven league wins in a row), they will be trusted to beat Chelsea regardless of the outcome of the Forest vs Arsenal game.

Meanwhile, it's clear that Chelsea won't be playing in the Champions League next season, but they could still end up in the top half of the table if the other results go their way. Prior to this match, the Blues have won only one of their last eleven matches in all competitions. Given that their recent record against City hasn't been good - five defeats in their last five games - they'll need a miracle to leave this game with three points.

Manchester City vs Chelsea betting tips: Over 2.5 goals

Although the recent encounters between these two teams have been very close, City just can't stop scoring goals at the moment. Pep's side have scored an average of 3 goals per game in their last eight league games.

Considering that each of their last ten home games in all competitions have equally ended with at least three goals, we think a bet on "over 2.5 goals" makes sense.

  • Best bet: Over 2.5 goals

Manchester City team news

Pep Guardiola is expected to make wholesale changes to the Manchester City lineup that took to the field from kickoff in the 4-0 win over Real Madrid.

World Cup winner Julián Álvarez, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden are among the players expected to benefit from the shake-up.

Nathan Ake, who has now missed City's last three games with a hamstring injury, is a doubt for Sunday's game, but otherwise the hosts are in great shape.

Chelsea team news

Mateo Kovačić had to be substituted before the half-time whistle in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, so the Croatian midfielder will miss this game.

He is joined on the visitors' injured list by Reece James, Marc Cucurella, N'Golo Kanté, Armando Broja, Kalidou Koulibaly and Mason Mount.
