Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
The late kick-off in this Saturday’s Premier League fixtures features a block-buster between Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge in the pick of this weekend’s action in the top flight with both teams in good form.
Chelsea laid down a marker during the week with an excellent 2-1 win away at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, and this will certainly provide a timely boost for Antonio Conte’s men as they prepare for the visit of in-form Manchester City today.
Chelsea, themselves, are in red-hot form having won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions, but while they possess a 100% winning record away from home, their results at Stamford Bridge have room for improvement, with a record of 1-1-1 4/3.
Manchester City also recorded a midweek win in the Champions League when they ran out 2-0 winners over Shakhtar Donetsk to hand them a seventh win on the trot in all competitions, and they too, like Chelsea, possess a 100% record on the road in the Premier League.
Wins at Brighton, Bournemouth and Watford were all expected, but it’s been the quality and the ruthlessness of their displays that have caught the eye. Nevertheless, manager, Pep Guardiola will be anxious for his side to not let their foot slip off the pedal, which was their downfall in last season’s title race.
The Citizens have scored in each of their last 11 away matches on the trot, with 8 of the 11 results ending up over 2.5 goals, and they’ll be pushing to take something off Chelsea here today in what will be both team’s sternest test yet.
