Chelsea vs Manchester City H2H: Potential MVP
Erling Haaland has been the Premier League's best player since he signed for Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022. The big Norweigan scored 50 goals in all competitions last season but he is still awaiting his first against Chelsea despite the Blues playing Chelsea four times over the course of the 22/23 season.
Haaland is once again leading the Golden Boot race in the Premier League with eleven goals in eleven matches and would love nothing more than to get his first goal against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea vs Manchester City H2H – Key trend
The last three goalscorers for Chelsea against Manchester City are three players who are longer part of the squad at Stamford Bridge (Marcos Alonso, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech). A new hero is needed in the Chelsea squad and someone will need to step up on Sunday if the Blues are to get a result. Given the recent head-to-head record and the form of Manchester City, we are going for a narrow away victory.
