Manchester City vs Chelsea Friendly prediction

Ahead of the Community Shield clash against The Red Devils, Manchester City are set to end their tour in the United States with a match against Chelsea at the Ohio Stadium. City has so far been hitting a dead end in their search for a win, which has been going on since May when they lost the FA Cup final to their sworn rival, Manchester United. They of course moved on from that heartbreak into what they thought would have been a huge dose of relief for them but that has now turned into a loss fest as they are winless in their last 3 pre-season games.

After suffering a very humiliating loss against Celtic, Chelsea finally got their very first pre-season win following an excellent 3-0 victory over Club America at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, thanks to Christopher Nkunku, Marc Guiu, and Noni Madueke.

Manchester City will be more than focused on ending their winless streak but with Chelsea back to winning ways it may not be a clear-cut victory for the Cityzens. Therefore Our Manchester City vs Chelsea prediction is a draw-no-bet option for Manchester City and we recommend the Manchester City Win (DNB) market.

Statistics for Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction

Manchester City’s team news!

• The Manchester-born midfielder, Nico O’Reilly who mainly caught Pep’s attention scored his first senior goal against the Blaugrana and will likely be paired with Kovacic in midfield, against Chelsea
• A place in the starting XI is unlikely for Josh Wilson-Esbrand as he was subbed off in the 75th minute due to an injury against Barcelona. This will open up a bit of change in Man City’s defensive arrangement from which Rico Lewis may be deployed into the left-back position
• There are currently injury concerns about Erling Haaland ahead of the new season, with Pep Guardiola confirming he has minor muscular problems that forced him to be replaced at halftime against Barca
• Copa America winner, Julian Alvarez (currently at the Olympics) has said that he feels very good at Manchester City in a bid to water down several speculations that have emerged over his future at the Manchester club

Chelsea’s team news!

• Quite a number of first-team players as well as new signings like Tosin Adarabioyo, Renato Veiga, and Marc Guiu have been available throughout the course of the Blues’ tour in the US, so Enzo Maresca will have the luxury of choice when it comes to picking his team for this match
• Big-money signing, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall made his first start for Chelsea after being named in the starting XI against Club America, while Enzo Fernandez and new signing Filip Jorgensen joined the action in the second half
• Malo Gusto seemed to pick up a knock before walking off gingerly in the 71st minute under careful watch by the physios. He will be assessed in the coming days hopefully it won’t be a big injury blow
• Forward, Tyrique George and center back, Josh Acheampong have been the dazzling academy duo for Chelsea in this pre-season and they could get their minutes once again in the early hours of Sunday
