Today's Betting Tips for Man City vs Chelsea

Just days after Man City picked up 3pts at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, these two sides go head-to-head in the FA Cup but this time, Man City have the home advantage. While both teams will look to put out a strong side, we're still expecting some squad rotation this weekend, especially for Chelsea who lost a couple of key players to injuries in midweek.

Man City to Win-to-Nil

We're going for a Man City win and clean sheet on Sunday it would should be a tight and tense 90-minutes. City claimed a 1-0 win in midweek against Chelsea and under Graham Potter, the Londoners are going through a very disappointing run of results right now. Manchester City have won and kept a clean sheet in each of their last four games against Chelsea and have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, while Chelsea have lost four of their last six fixtures.

Julian Alvarez to Score

Julian Alvarez has only played a bit part for Man City this season but has still scored 6-goals in all competitions. We're backing Man City's World Cup winner to start Sunday's game against Chelsea and we have backed the Argentina star to score during the 90-minutes. Guardiola might play Alvarez through the middle and give Haaland a rest or he could partner the two goalscorers together in what would be a formidable attack. For club and country, Alvarez has scored 5-goals in his last 10 games and will be itching to get at this Chelsa defence.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Thursday’s encounter between Man City and Chelsea.

Man City odds: 17/40 (1.43) – 70.2%

Draw odds: 9/2 (5.50) – 18.2%

Chelsea odds: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.8%

As you can see, Man City are the big favourite this weekend and Chelsea look like they have very little chance of getting a result. However, this is the FA Cup and anything can happen, a lot will depend upon the strength of each starting eleven. The odds of Under 2.5 Goals being scored stand at 13/10 (2.30) – 43.6%, while you can back Over 2.5 Goals at 4/6 (1.67) – 60%, so the bookmakers fancy this game to produce a few goals despite the midweek clash seeing just one goal scored.

Taking a look at the possible lineups for this FA Cup fixture

Man City

Man City made the trip to the capital to face Chelsea in midweek and managed to come away with all 3pts. Mahrez scored the only goal of the game, coming off the bench to fire home in the 63rd-minute. Alvarez could return to the starting lineup this weekend but Dias is still some way off due to a thigh injury.

Predicted Lineup: Ederson (GK), Akanji, Lewis, Aké, Stones, Palmer, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Phillips, Grealish & Álvarez

Chelsea

Chelsea lost a couple of key players during that defeat to Man City with Sterling and Pulisic having to go off early and they are expected to miss Sunday's clash in the FA Cup. Broja, Mount, Fofana, Mendy, James and Kante could also miss out through injury.

Predicted Lineup: Kepa (GK), Silva, Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Jorginho, Gallagher, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka, Havertz & Aubameyang

Player to Watch – Kevin De Bruyne

Man City's midfield mistro always loves going up against his old club where he was once told he wasn't good enough. It will be interesting to see if Guardiola starts De Bruyne, we think he will, but even if he doesn't, the Belgian star will likely come off the bench if Man City need him to create or score a goal. De Bruyne has netted 3-goals in the league this season and has chipped in with 9-assists, so he still remains the best playmaker in the Premier League which is wy we're confident that he will start against Chelsea.
