S.P.Read Esq: Chelsea v Man City

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Saturday’s Premier League match at 5.30pm between CHELSEA v MAN CITY and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

The key action in terms of the title race will not unfold until Sunday and it’s remarkable to think that Chelsea v Man City (LIVE SKY 5.30pm) is a relatively low key affair between the last two title winners!

Certainly, I don’t think we can put much store by the 5-1 outcome when they last met at Stamford Bridge in February in the FA Cup. City had a reduced strength side out that day as they (then) were still concentrated on the league title and the Champions League.

Whilst the Premier League is beyond them – the Champions League certainly isn’t and they progressed to a semi-final date with Real Madrid after seeing off a well below par PSG midweek.

Chelsea just seem to be going through the motions at the moment and for them the end of the season surely can’t come quick enough for an urgent re-group.

Chelsea’s manager Guus Hiddink said: “City have had a beautiful week after getting in to the semi-finals. It’s good for them to be in the last four and it’s a reward for their efforts over the last seasons.”

He added: “Their team is getting into a certain flow of success and results so they’ll like to continue it. It’s encouraging for them and for us it is another reason why we expect very strong opposition.”

The hosts have won just one of their last five games and that was against Aston Villa who have been woeful this season. Last weekend they were beaten 1-0 by Swansea and come into this match better rested than Man City but I really question the motivation of the Blues at present. They will however be boosted by the expected return of striker Diego Costa after his three-match suspension has been completed.

City have unquestionably been better at home this season rather than on their travels where they have averaged 1.1 goals.
