On January 15, the match of the 22nd round of the English Premier League will take place, in which Manchester City will play Chelsea at home. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator Alexander Elagin.
The first round match between these rivals was won by the "citizens" with a minimum score of 1:0. Although before that, Chelsea had a 3-match winning streak in matches with Josep Guardiola's team, the main one of which, of course, was the victory in the Champions League final last season.
The upcoming match is of great strategic importance, especially for the Mancunians. "Citizens" in case of a victory of 80 percent guarantee themselves the championship title in the Premier League. Currently, Man City is leading the standings, 10 points ahead of Chelsea in second place. Yes, there is still Liverpool, but still with the game and stability that Guardiola's team demonstrates, a victory over Chelsea can really be a harbinger of an early victory of the league title.
Manchester City have not lost at home since October 30. Since that time, the "citizens" have played 7 matches in their native walls, and all of them were won by the wards of Josep Guardiola. But in the upcoming match, according to Alexander Elagin, Thomas Tuchel will be able to find an antidote against the powerful game of "City", which he has managed to do many times before. The expert recommends before this meeting to bet on guests with a zero handicap for a very high coefficient.
