Chelsea look for three points at home against Manchester City
Kick-off : 4:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
The Blues will face a sterner test this weekend as they face a dangerous Manchester City side. Man City have been scoring pretty heavily in recent games.
Champions Chelsea beat Manchester City both times last season. Eden Hazard scored in both of those games. This time as well he will be looking for the same.
Chelsea were unable to break the Gunners defense around two weeks ago. But since then have scored many goals.
Antonio Conte’s men will have to keep doing the good work in order to defend their title this season.
It should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.

Sergio Aguero is doubtful for Saturday’s game for Manchester City. While Benjamin Mendy will be unavailable as due to injury.
Rest of the squad remains the same and Pep Guardiola will have to tussle for selections.

Prediction
It’s going to be a tough game between two of Premier League’s top sides. But it is fair to say that Chelsea go into the game as favorites. I expect this game to be a draw.
