Pep Guardiola’s side are relentless at this stage of the season, and it is little surprise to see them priced very short in the Man City vs Chelsea odds. It is hard to overlook City based on the EPL team stats, as they have won each of their last eight matches across all competitions.
The reigning champions have also recorded victories in six of their last eight home matches against the Blues, keeping clean sheets in five wins over that period. A comfortable home win on the Man City schedule looks like the most likely outcome.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Analysis
Manchester City Preview
There are few more daunting sights in European soccer than being chased in a title race by Manchester City. The reigning champions are in pursuit of a historic fourth straight title in the English top-flight, and they could move to the summit with maximum points at home against the Blues this weekend.
City come into this round after picking victories in each of their last eight across all competitions. That includes wins in their last six in the Premier League. That highlights an excellent return to form after winning one of their last six before the start of this sequence.
The reigning champions have recorded four wins from their last six in 2024. They haven’t recorded wins in their opening five matches at the start of a new calendar year since winning 13 on the bounce to kickstart 2021.
There are also ominous signs for the division, with the EPL player stats showing Erling Haaland netting twice against Everton on his return to action following a lengthy injury.
Chelsea Preview
The Chelsea results continue to be inconsistent this term, as the Blues have won three and lost twice across their last five in the Premier League. That leaves Mauricio Pochettino’s side sitting tenth in the standings, and likely with far too much to do to challenge for a European spot.
The Blues come into this round after picking up a fine win at Crystal Palace in their last match, but their season will likely be defined by their campaigns in the domestic cup competitions.
Chelsea have suffered six defeats in their last eight visits to the Etihad, with just two wins being recorded on the road against Man City over that period.
Meanwhile, they have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 19 league matches against Man City. Their only shutout over that period came in a 2-0 home success in December 2018.
Manchester City vs Chelsea Head to Head
City holds a dominant advantage in the overall record, winning six of their last eight home matches against the Blues. However, these sides played out a pulsating 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge earlier in the campaign, ending a 16-game run without a tie in this fixture.
